I am a seasoned creative professional with over 15 years of diverse experience spanning media, communication, and the arts. I have strong problem-solving skills, innovative thinking, and a detail-oriented approach that excels in a collaborative environment.
A graduate of the University of Kansas, I combine artistic talent with a practical mindset, always seeking to make a positive impact. I am eager to explore new paths, develop skills, and embrace the future with enthusiasm.
During my career, I have been responsible for creating visually arresting 3D assets for game development and interactive applications, and interactive scripting. Beyond interactive and game projects, I have also extensively worked on motion graphics and animation projects that have been used in a variety of contexts, from marketing campaigns to educational materials. This diversification has equipped me to understand and adapt to different project needs swiftly, ensuring a seamless workflow and timely delivery without compromising on quality.
My skills include proficiency in industry-standard software like 3D Studio Max, V-Ray, Unity, Unreal, and the Adobe Creative Suite.
This experience has honed my ability to work closely with multidisciplinary teams, including artists, animators, and programmers, to realize a unified creative vision. I also bring to the table strong problem-solving skills, a keen eye for detail, and the ability to work under tight deadlines. I pride myself on being able to solve technical and artistic challenges, producing work that not only meets but often exceeds project specifications.
