I worked on Epic Universe and can't wait to continue on new and exciting adventures!I was laid off from ILM a while back, one of the greatest VFX companies in the world and I absolutely loved working there! I was a VAD 3D Artist, or one that works in the Virtual Art Department. I created the content that goes on the volume wall for same day shooting backgrounds for film and television such as shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi or The Mandalorian. It was such an incredible experience and I'm so glad that I had the opportunity to work for them.I got my start in VAD work at Happy Mushroom (now Narwhal Studios) and was able to have a blast working on two announced television projects as well as several other works in development. I look forward to saying... I worked on that and listing those shows here.I've worked at Universal Creative in Orlando as an Associate Attraction Designer. I created fantastical worlds in a real world setting (and scale), which involves everything within a themed ride attraction such as the ride itself, environment props, characters, show set, retail, queue, bathrooms, etc. I use Maya, Photoshop and Unreal on a daily basis creating/visualizing one of the new worlds being created for Universal’s Epic Universe - the newly announced theme park.

I briefly worked at Turn 10 as a QA Vehicle Artist modifying/fixing highly detailed cars and upgrading shaders.I have also worked on 3D environments for Evolution Ventures (VR real estate sales), amusement park and ride designs at Dynamic Attractions and figurines for a sci-fi miniatures company in England.I’m a highly motivated, self taught 3D artist / video editor with a background in traditional art - drawing, painting and photography.

3D ArtistEvolution Ventures Llc Nov 2014 - Aug 2015Chicago, Illinois, UsI was part of a small art team at Evolution Ventures that consisted mostly of other previous EA contractors. Our team worked well together since we already knew each other and were used to tight production schedules. We created VR experiences for properties around the globe. They were mostly high end penthouses, resorts, hotels, housing complexes, etc. The purpose was for our clients to have the ability to show their customers real estate developments that had yet to be built or were in the process of being remodeled. They could walk through the bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen, out onto the balcony, etc. and view the world as if they had purchased it. Our goal was to provide an immersive, lifelike experience that wowed and impressed. -
3D Character ArtistElectronic Arts (Ea) Tiburon Jan 2014 - Nov 2014Redwood City, Ca, UsFor my first contract at EA Tiburon (Orlando), I worked on Madden 25. I was hired on as a character artist, even though I had no previous character experience. I came so highly recommended by my contacts at EA SLC that they were willing to give me a try since they liked my get it done attitude and willingness to learn. I worked on player degradation, sideline characters, coaches, owners and four background characters that were cut because of time constraints. After working extensively on a broken crowd part system, the plug was pulled and in the final month and a half of production I was the only artist given the task of recreating the crowd will full mesh characters. It was the first time Madden had used a 3D crowd. It was previously done with cards that scrolled through image sequences.
