Experience

  • 3D Environment Artist at Aquifer Motion
    United States of America
    July 2021 - Present

    Joined as an Environment Artist to assist with the creation/reconstuction of client requested environments.

    Our platform was Unity, which I became familiar with and trusted to also tackle extra tasks related to our pipeline such as Lighting/Baking, Look Development, Studio Kit Setup, Shader Creation, and Source Updating/Pushing to our App.

    I became the sole Environment Artist shortly after joining, stepping up and handling more complex projects for clients like Crunchy Roll, Invisible Universe, MGAE, Paramount, and more.

    All projects worked on had a need for attention to detail and authenticity to branding. I was able to work with many different types of Art Styles which I enjoyed.
