Summary

With over 25 years experience, my career has spanned working in games, advertising, animation and multimedia production. A desire for growth as an artist has driven me to constantly learn and research new techniques and tools; a passion for sharing, documenting and teaching brings value to the teams I work with. Fostering communication between art and engineering teams is important to me and enables me to be a liaison between these disciplines, working to develop tools, pipelines and rendering technologies. I flourish in settings where I can solve visual problems that rely on the marriage of a strong artistic eye with an acumen for the tools and technology used to deliver the visual. My goals are to work on challenging products that allow for me to continue growing, while also influencing growth in those around me, and enhancing the tools and pipelines we use to deliver compelling visuals.
