Animation and 3D art has captivated me all of my life, from flip books and the earliest flying logos to immersive storytelling and virtual reality. I feel very fortunate to work on fascinating projects and create immersive worlds while practicing my crafts and further developing my artistic sense.
While much of my portfolio shows modeling, texturing, lighting, rigging, animation… all the usual skills we perform, often the real challenge is implementing our work so everything follows a matching design language and supports the story.
I’m also a huge fan of change. Unlike most art forms, ours changes incredibly quickly; we’re always learning new software, platforms, techniques, presentation hardware, and delivery pipelines. Still, it’s imperative that we share and listen to each other and remain adaptable and open to the unconventional. It’s dangerous to feel too comfortable with any of the tools we use, or even feel like an expert. I believe that if you feel like an expert with a tool or technique, you’re probably missing something important.
