I am a Senior 3D Artist with lead
experience, strong technical art
capabilities, and project experience with
Sony and Meta. My background
combines hands-on 3D production with
managing multidisciplinary teams
across concept art, characters,
environments, rigging, animation, VFX,
and technical art.

I develop and improve production
pipelines through optimisation, AI-
enabled workflows, and practical
problem-solving to accelerate
production and remove blockers. In
demanding, fast-changing projects, I
align teams, deadlines, and client
requirements while remaining hands-on
and maintaining quality through final
delivery.
