Summary

Junior at Clark University majoring in Interactive Media/Game Design, with a focus in the 3D Art Track. I plan to focus more into Hard Surface Modelling and Animation/Cinematics, possibly as a 3D Generalist.

What I believe sets me apart from other 3D artists my age is what I have been able to create on my own with the limited knowledge I have on certain areas during the creation of many various passion projects.

—— Technical Skills ——

The software I am currently the most familiar with are Blender, Unity, with some experience using Substance 3D Painter and Unreal Engine 5. A lot of my prior knowledge of Blender before College was self taught while during high school. I plan to learn more of UE5, Substance, and also Blender, as well dive into new software like Zbrush and Maya.
