Biography

I'm a Senior Character & Concept Artist with 13+ years of experience in game development. My background includes character concept art for the Metro franchise at 4A Games and freelance work on modular character and clothing packs for BigMediumSmall.

My main focus is realistic digital clothing and garment construction, with advanced expertise in Marvelous Designer. I enjoy creating complex, layered outfits that tell a story through their construction, materials, and textures.

I work across the full character pipeline, from concept development and visual research to garment creation, high-poly sculpting, retopology, UVs, baking, PBR texturing, and real-time optimization.

Alongside production work, I teach and mentor artists, helping them develop their digital clothing skills and build practical workflows for character creation.
