Hello
Nice to meet you

I am an avid 3D, Texture and Look Development Artist working within the games industry. I have extensive experience in 3D modelling, texture, look development, real-time rendering, motion capture and virtual production for film, games and 3D visualisation for architectural, VR/AR and LED stage-craft use.

​

I have a passion for future technology and I'm constantly trying to push the boundaries of current computer hardware to achieve things never done before.
