I'm a San Francisco based TD with over 15 years of experience in games, tv and film work.
Most of my experience is in textures and lighting and as a generalist I have had a hand in most aspects of production at some stage . Lately I have been more involved in the lookdev department as a texture artist.
My passion is to deliver and build optimized, stunning and creative environment art assets for video games and feature film visual effects. I work effectively within a collaborative team environment and have a comprehensive set of skills. I adapt quickly to new techniques, pipelines and work well under steep deadlines.
