About
Being Inspired in my youth by games and films, I have always been intrigued by the worlds that exist within stories. from the distant planets in 'Star Wars' to the crevices of Middle-earth. I like to imagine what it would be like to exist in these worlds and how the characters have grown within their environment.
I decided to specialize in characters and environments as these are the elements that challenge my imagination. Challenges are exciting being such a broad field I can never find myself lost for things to do. Every rock, building, character, and plant has a story. You only have to look for a moment and you will find it or a new perspective you've never come across.
After my specialisms, I am mostly a 3D Generalist as I have found that being knowledgeable in all areas of the pipeline is beneficial as it allows for cohesive working and a better understanding of all the different roles and responsibilities of a team.
