I am a Character Artist and Visual Development professional with experience across film, television, and video games. A graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), I earned my Master of Fine Arts in Visual Effects in 2020 and have since contributed to a variety of production environments, creating characters, creatures, props, vehicles, and environments for both cinematic and real-time applications.
My primary areas of focus include character design, asset creation, and visual development, with a passion for bringing compelling ideas to life through high-quality 3D artwork. Whether developing a realistic creature, a stylized character, or a complex hard-surface asset, I strive to combine strong artistic fundamentals with technical excellence.
Outside of work, I draw inspiration from science fiction, horror, comic books, video games, and kaiju films. These influences continue to shape my creative perspective and fuel my enthusiasm for world-building, storytelling, and design.
I am passionate about collaboration, continuous learning, and creating memorable visual experiences. Thank you for taking the time to visit my portfolio and explore my work.
