ABOUT
I am a technical artist with experience in 3D art pipelines for games and cinematics, currently working at Haptix Studio and Great Lakes Reality Labs, where I support our mocap and animation team through tools and troubleshooting, our art team through shaders and VFX, and our developers through bug fixes and optimizations.
​
I graduated from Michigan State University in May of 2020 with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Game Design and Development. Though my degree provided a solid programming background, my primary focus and passion has always been 3D art for games and animation.
I have a broad range of professional and personal experience with most aspects of the art production pipeline, from concept art to finished 3D and 2D assets, as well as tools and graphics programming. This enables me to support the technical needs of art teams while interfacing with programmers to achieve the desired aesthetic of each project without compromising performance.
​
Relevant skills include professional experience with Unreal Engine, Unity, Houdini, Motion Builder and Motive, a working knowledge of C++, C# and Python, and minor experience in Direct3D 12, OpenGL and Cg. Contributions to previous projects include tools, shaders, VFX, lighting, rigging, optimizations, general asset production, concept design and art direction.
