I'm a self-taught VFX artist who has worked with clients of various calibers (such as Valve Software) for 5+ years. My expertise primarily revolves around working with particle editors in various game engines (Source 2, Unreal Engine, Unity) and other VFX-related software (Houdini, Blender, Photoshop, Maya, DaVinci Resolve) to produce high-quality effects and visual phenomenon in various styles (realistic/physically-based, stylized). My dream has been to work in the games industry since I was a child, as games have been a central part of my experience and entertainment growing up. I'm always fascinated by the things that are possible with this unique medium of - not only entertainment but of storytelling and interconnection between people - as technology becomes better and more accessible. As a VFX artist, I have the unique responsibility of creating believable yet extraordinary visual phenomenon that helps bridge the gap between fantasy and reality.
