ABOUT ME:
I am a 3D artist with 3 years experience in the heritage and museum sector, modelling, texturing, animating environments and characters. As a child I was fascinated by how videogames and animated films evoke imagination and emotions. I love this career as it is a different world where I can share my passion with a friendly team making great stories for the next generation.
