My artistic abilities extend to various techniques for content and material creation; extending from Photogrammetry, Proceduaral work, as well as hand-crafted sculpting and hard surface modeling. This diverse array of creation technique has allowed me not only to create quality quickly, but also well-rounded when knowing how to communicate with other teams, problem solve, and optimize. As a Look Dev artist, my position is to aid in developing content and processes that relays competitive quality, while colaborating with other teams to maintain cohesion of vision.
