Started as a student at PUCMG on the Digital Games BTech, where I've learned my bases about game development, from game design, project management to the entire 3D modeling pipeline and implementation, it was a great way to lay foundations for further development. Also, when I was there I was chosen to be the leader artist of the course conclusion project, pointed by the capacity to understand how to connect the different areas, guide the needs of the project and see the wider picture.Together with my classes, I've started to work as a freelancer artist, where I could put into pratice everything I was learning and seek the experience of each area, with a focus on art. There I've built a good reputation and stellar reviews at my profile. As I wanted each client to have a great and understanding experience, I've developed my comunication skills a lot at that time.Right after the conclusion of my course I was hired by Dumativa as 3D Animator and Rigger to work on a unnanounced project, where I've developed a better understanding of how a company works and started to consolidate my skills. After sometime working there, as I was working on a small project, I've asked to help with other areas aside Animation, and started to work on many steps of the pipeline, contributing with some concepts, 3D models, procedural environment generation, lightning, tech art and finally real-time VFXs. As they really liked my work with VFXs and Tech Art, they put me to work on Enigma of Fear as a VFX artist, where I work now.Later, a new project was being created and they gave me the opportunity to be the Lead Artist for that project, to guide the art of the project, stabilish style guidelines and orient the other artists. I was chosen because of my wide understanding of the production pipeline and comunication capacity, even while I was not ideal and not experienced enough, they thought it would be a great opportunity for me to do it and learn. At this position I've learned a lot about project and people management, how to scope for longer periods, enhanced my comunication skills from different point of view and my capacity to understand the game as a product as well, with the needs of planning, and cutting, features along the needs.Ever since I've balancing the needs of these two projects, acting as a lead and delivering VFX packages for Enigma of Fear from time to time.Now I feel like I'm ready for new opportunities in new projects, and I really liked working with VFXs, so I'm looking into developing a career in real-time VFX for games.
