With nearly 20 years of 3D modeling and environment art experience my career has been varied. After working in related fields, I got a "late start" in AAA gaming. Having previously worked on social media games, architectural visualization, commercials, and in a startup 3D software Bio-Tech company.
Through my career I have leveraged my Bachelor of Architecture and MFA to create believable, immersive, and engaging spaces. Among other skills, my understanding of the built environment, sense of proportions/scale, and enjoyment of collaborations has helped me develop these environments.
