Summary
Hello! I'm an environment and lighting artist for games and 3D art. I got my BFA in Interactive Design and Game Development at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) where I also minored in Visual Effects and Technical Direction.
As an artist, my main drive is creating worlds one couldn't otherwise experience. Whether it be because they are mythical, dangerous, or the person themselves doesn’t have the means to visit them. I want to make art and worlds that are accessible and breathtaking.
