    I am responsible for creating digital 3D assets for casino style games. My core responsibilities include 3D sculpting and modeling, texturing, retopologizing, scene creation, environment building, lighting and rendering, and some concepting.

    I go through the full process of the game creation pipeline. I collaborate with an art team consisting of other 3D artists, 3D animators, 2D artists, 2D animators, and concept artists. I also work closely with multiple teams including game designers, developers, and engineers.

  • 3D Product Designer at The Bradford Exchange
    Chicago
    August 2017 - January 2025

    I was responsible for digitally sculpting highly detailed 3D models from concept art for advertising, product development, and prototyping purposes. My core responsibilities included high poly 3D sculpting, 3D modeling, remeshing, UV mapping, texturing, look development, lighting, rendering, animation, and compositing.

    I also coordinated the keying and preparation of the models, and completed the full 3D printing process which included cleaning and sanding the final prototype.

    I collaborated closely with multiple teams, including developers, licensors, and other departments, to refine and iterate models based on feedback.
