About

I'm a 3D Generalist with a background as a Creature FX Artist for both feature films and television, I excel in utilizing Maya and Houdini, often integrating studio-specific plugins. My latest role was as a 3D Archivist for Disney: Parks, Experiences, and Products

My personal projects revolve around creating immersive 3D models and environments using Unreal Engine, Maya, Houdini, and Substance Painter. usually tied to a interest I have beyond 3D art. This consists of music production, history, science, and photography, all of which fuel my creativity and broaden my perspective.
