Summary

🎮 3D Artist | Creating game-ready characters, props, and environments with style and precision.

I specialize in modeling, sculpting, and texturing optimized 3D assets for games—ranging from stylized to realistic, across characters, props, and environments. My work spans AAA and UGC platforms like Roblox, where I’ve contributed to games like Sonic Speed Simulator, SpongeBob Simulator, and TMNT: Battle Tycoon.

With a strong grasp of PBR workflows, real-time rendering, and performance-focused design, I build assets that not only look great but work seamlessly in-game. I also have experience crafting high-quality visuals for marketing and promotional use, ensuring assets hold up in both gameplay and polished cinematic renders.

Proficient in Blender, Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Unity, and Unreal, I enjoy collaborating with cross-discipline teams to bring creative ideas to life—whether that’s a stylized hero prop, a clean promotional render, or a full modular environment kit.

🚀 Open to full-time, freelance, and contract roles. Let’s bring your next project to life!
