I'm a freelance 3D artist with a focus on props and environments. I started with a bbackground in Design/UX and I'm interested in learning technical artistry.

Biography

I come from a background of Design and UX Engineering. After working as a Researcher/ Analyst in the Film and Television sector, I took the leap into a more artistic role within the Creative Industry.

I am familiar with VFX/Game pipelines and I gained freelance experience creating production-ready props and environments. I have a strong understanding of 3D fundamentals, design principles, the creative industry and working in a professional environment.
