Summary
Passionate and experienced in the field of 3D character and creature development for cinematics and games with excellent organizational, problem-solving and communication skills.
I love the challenge of trying to create the most dynamic and compelling art I can, as efficiently and economically as possible. I'm also a well-trained sculptor, specializing in human and animal anatomy.
I have also experienced a variety of production environments, from large scale AAA studios, to smaller indie teams, to film and previs studios, both on site and remote. All of which have given me great insight into the many facets and dimensions of game development.

In the instructor role at CGMastersAcademy I provide feedback and answer questions to several students at varying levels of expertise in the course material. I also focus on the engagement of students, making sure they are involved and that they are being challenged. My aim is to improve the student's understanding of the course material so that they proceed with more confidence in their artwork. As an instructor I take it upon myself to adjust to my students to better suit their needs rather than expect them to adjust to my preferences.
