Personal profile

Overview

Sharing my disciplines between programmer / problem solver and environment artist I define myself as a technical artist. I am a firm believer that if you can automate a process thereby saving time and money while maintaining a high quality output then it is worth the development time.
As a software agnostic practitioner I have a broad understanding of most content creation software including but not limited to: 3DS Max, Unreal Engine, Maya, Mudbox, Houdini and Photoshop. I utilise scripting and technical knowledge to push the boundaries of existing digital content creation.
