What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead high-impact visualization and real-time projects, bridging design and build with creative autonomy, technical innovation, and collaborative teams.

I am an architectural visualization specialist with 18 years’ experience blending photoreal rendering, real-time Unreal Engine workflows, and hands-on fabrication to deliver immersive environments that drive sales and decision-making. I have produced high-impact visuals and interactive pipelines across 3 continents and 6+ countries for clients including Bandai Namco, Breaking Bad, Furhat Robotics, Malone Souliers, and Pam Golding.

My work spans concept-to-build: designing and physically constructing showrooms, sets, and prototypes while optimizing PBR materials, lighting, and performance for offline and real-time pipelines. I bring an engineering mindset, AI-enhanced cinematic techniques, and a commitment to precision, reliability, and innovative problem solving under tight deadlines.
