Summary
I'm a passionate 3D Generalist with experience as an Assistant Creative Director and XR Mentor. I have experience in XR Design, the full 3D pipeline, and creative direction. I've created for VR games, mobile apps, museum exhibits, and recently I've been involved in creating XR Design and 3D Asset Creation educational content and courses. My favorite tools are Blender, Substance Painter, Unity, and the Adobe Suite, but more recently I've been getting aquainted with Unreal and Cinema4d as well. I also have a Degree in Studio Art. Let's connect and explore the future of creative technology and art!
