[Objectives]

Combining my life-long passion for creative storytelling with 3D modeling and game design, I craft environments which provide audiences with interesting spaces to complement and enhance their overall experience.

I am an intensely determined individual, self-taught in game development toolkits like the Unreal Development Kit and the Unity game engine, and know what is required to produce quality work on a deadline both individually as well as on a team.
