I have been developing simulation environments and assets that have been used to test advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) by the largest OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the world for over 4 years. Driven by my passion for animation, video games, and engineering, I love crafting and telling stories for three- dimensional worlds that can be explored and experienced – again and again, by man or machine. I thrive in creative and collaborative environments and have a proven ability to deliver quality results on a deadline.

I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) with a Master’s in Interactive Design and Game Development, where I focused on environment art in 2016. I also received a degree Bachelor of Fine Art in Game Design (cum laude) with minors in Visual Effects and Technical Direction from SCAD in 2013.

Here’s a quick look at my capabilities. Though I’m skilled in numerous areas of game design, team leadership, 3D modeling and environment art are my wheelhouse.
