ABOUT ME:
I am an animator and 3D artist with over 8 years of experience in the video game industry. I have extensive experience with the entire animation pipeline including the creation of custom bone or biped based rigs, skinning/binding the model to the rig, and creation of looping and canned animations. I have experience modeling and texturing characters, terrain, architecture, and props. I have experience leading and organizing other artists and animators to ensure they are on task and the project is on schedule. I have experience working closely with programmers and designers creating an asset pipeline. I have a history of tackling new projects with vigor and a mind for practical solutions to production needs. I have successfully shipped over 20 titles ranging from small dashboard mini games to large multi-platform retail releases.
