Summary

Hi!
Welcome to my artstation! I learned my trade at Gnomon School of Visual Effects, specializing in Environment Art.

My first project out of school was God of War (2017) where I worked on the Alfheim level with two other artists. I grew my sculpting to another level.

I then transitioned to an Environment Modeler working on The Last of Us part II- Here I learned how to take full control over a level and make sure it's optimized running and communicate with who I needed to, to get things done.

Now after shipping TLOU II
I was back at Santa Monica Studios! - for a little-

I was swooped up by the new amazing Microsoft Studio- The Initiative!

The Initiative was a crazy cool experience- but I couldn't resist the call back to Naughtydog.

I am currently a Senior Environment Modeler. I continue to learn and grow here from the amazing talent my co-workers have.
