MEET THE ARTIST

I am a multiple Emmy Award winning Lead 3D Artist in Los Angeles, California with over 12 years of experience. My main focus is lighting, texturing, and shader development. I have worked on and led multiple high profile projects like Game of Thrones, Nike commercials, Riot Games cinematics, and Superbowl commercials to name a few. I have a passion for details, composition, color, lighting, and learning new ways to elevate every project I work on.
