Day-to-day management and direction of core env. art team, for production of large scale environments and content for PS3 games (Starhawk)Most recently I was more directly evolved in the evolution of creative design and content creation, and I did a lot of research and prototyping; however I still also handled a lot of the Technical Art workload, such as planning, organization, tools research/design, workflow and pipeline implementation, and general firefighting or game performance tuning.I split the active duties of 'art direction' with another Lead Artist:- I did a lot of technical design and planning, naming conventions, data structure, process, optimization.- My counterpart did a lot of the aesthetic polish and iteration (I started most things, he drove them to shippable quality.) Specialties:+ Large Worlds: I designed a pipeline, build process, tools and workflows for development of large terrain areas and env deco placement.I also played a large role in the design and implementation for many technical aspects of our content:+ Destruction: Hero landmarks and our 'Build and Battle' system.I was a core lead on the game, in addition to managing the Environment Artists team, I worked in many areas and was one of the artists making sure we can make the vision happen on the content side of things:+ Environment design, research and art direction+ Advanced 3D Modeling+ Modeling workflows and toolkits+ Material design and material pipeline tools+ Terrain (and terrain process, tools, workflows and pipelines.)+ Environment design and layout+ Environmental lighting + DCC tool extensions+ New specialized material shaders (for instance wavy grass), in-engine and in DCC preview versions.

Working at K2 I filled the role of Senior Producer (Global Dev.), overseeing the US and other regional launches of two MMO products currently being developed out of East Asia. At the time, I was living and working based out of Osaka, Japan. The Korean MMO we localized and launched was titled "Sword of the New World" in the US. Day-to-day I was also working internal at a Japanese developer helping to manage the development, infrastructure, launch and global release of a Gundam MMO.

I worked mainly on the Dungeons and Dragons franchise, where I was the Lead Producer responsible for the release of Neverwinter Nights 2; working with Obsidian to finalize production, manage contracts and licencing, CGI intros and voice overs. I also worked on the creative development of new titles and IP.

New York, New York, Us

Planed and coordinated various aspects of video game, or entertainment products, from product conception through launch. Reviewed interim product builds and worked on the creative design of many popular R* games - promoting creative innovation and competitive market value, and ensure product objectives are attained. I worked on aspects of PD like combat design and art direction for The Warriors, and ground up concept and design for aesthetic open world titles like Red Dead Redemption.

Was a Project Lead and the Creative Director on Star Trek: Elit Force 2, and was also Producer on the project as the primary contact with Activision who published the title. In this position I oversaw the team in day-to-day development, and interfaced between departments (design, art, programming.)Prior to this position, I helped the owners set up a small team to develop a budget title based on the Blair Witch franchise.
