Summary

I am a passion driven creative that strives for quality.

I am experienced with a variety of skills which include concept art illustration, 3D modelling, 3D sculpting, texturing. surfacing, lighting and compositing. I am keen to work on characters, and enjoy creating them from start to finish.

I have interned at Sunrise Productions in 2021 as a concept artist, where I created character and environment designs/concepts for one of their upcoming films.

I have also been tutoring 3D animation since 2022 during my free time, to assist up and coming 3D artists/animators increase the quality of their work and to prepare them for the industry.

I currently work at Clear Angle Studios as a 3D artist, where I clean 3D LiDAR scans using a variety of tools and methods, including sculpting. I render a variety of scans for client handover purposes, where I make use of clear composition to help showcase what each scan contains. I also assist with QA, as well as training new employees within the LiDAR department.

Some of the productions that I have worked on:
Jungle Beat 2: The Past
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3
Loki (Season 2)
Blue Beetle
Ghosted
Silo

I am skilled at using Maya, Zbrush, Substance Painter 3D, Photoshop and a little bit of Blender.
