Summary

Hi! I'm a concept artist with a passion for making games and creating stories. I have a bachelors degree in Animation focused on pre-production and modeling. During that time I joined Ennui Studio as a generalist art intern in the early stages of development for an unreleased game. I have worked as freelance artist for several projects and would love to be part of a team to create games. In May 2021 I traveled to Vancouver to study Game Design program at VFS. The experience in 3D modelling and design that I got from this program have made my concept art better as I can now take into account the needs and expectations of character and environment artists.

I am proficient with the following tools:
- Photoshop (and similar software such as Clip Studio Paint)
- Maya
- ZBrush
- Substance Painter
- Unity

I also have basic knowledge of:
- Unreal Engine
- Substance Designer
- Adobe After Effects
- Adobe Illustrator
