Biography

I’m a 3D artist with a background in engineering and over five years of experience in the IT industry. While studying at Think Tank Training Centre, I learned the full process of character creation—including modeling, texturing, and look development—with a strong focus on hair and fur grooming using Houdini and Xgen. I enjoy combining technical problem-solving with artistic expression, supported by my background in traditional arts like Japanese calligraphy and oil painting. I'm passionate about both detailed VFX and stylized characters, and I aim to bring designs to life through hair and overall character work. I also believe in open-source collaboration and hope to contribute tools and knowledge that support the industry’s growth.
