Senior Environment Artist for Film & Games

Summary

With over 13 years of experience as a CG Generalist and Environment Artist, I have worked
across different industries including Architectural Visualisation, Film, and Games. My skill
set covers the full spectrum of environment art production - from asset creation (hard
surface and organic), world building and layout to texturing, material creation and scene composition. I bring a strong understanding of level design principles, ensuring that the level art and scene composition seamlessly support gameplay mechanics and player immersion.

I combine a comprehensive understanding of the VFX and film pipeline with firsthand
experience guiding game projects from pre-production to shipping. In my day-to-day life, this
high-level overview allows me to anticipate technical bottlenecks, optimise assets for
production early, and collaborate effortlessly across art, design, and engineering teams.
