What I'm looking for

I'm open to AAA and indie freelance or contract opportunities worldwide, including relocation or hybrid/remote collaboration. I want to build high-quality environments while contributing to visual storytelling, optimization, and efficient production pipelines.

I've owned environment production for Silent Hill f at NeoBards Entertainment, delivering the opening hillside, old street, and Kinkotsu Alleyways. The opening area became the visual centerpiece of the official trailer.

I build environments from blockout to final polish using PBR, modular systems, and Houdini-based PCG workflows. Across AAA, mobile, and freelance projects, I focus on visual storytelling, scene optimization, and efficient production pipelines for Unreal Engine 5 and Unity.
