About
I categorize myself as an intuitive, resourceful, creative and compassionate type of person. I work very well in groups because I can delegate responsibilities to each member and maintain their progress throughout the ordeal. However I can most definitely hold my own should I have to ride solo in any situation.
A challenge is just the last obstacle before a better version of yourself. After graduating with a Dual major BA Degree in both 3D-Animation and Video Game Design, I worked in IT very briefly. Afterwards I worked in a company using my skills of both 3D modeling/animating and Video game designing.
I have several years of experience working with Blender and Substance Painter. Also with game engines like Unity, Unreal Engine and Cry Engine. Unity being my most proficient.
