Introduction:

I’m a skilled and experienced visual communicator with over 6 years of combined experience in the CG industry as both an independent contractor and full-time, studio-based professional. I’m also a former-career healthcare provider and educator with about a decade of experience in frontline emergency patient care, including 6 years simultaneously spent as a licensed American Heart Association instructor who specialized in the facilitation of emergency care education and simulation.
I now specialize in real-time 3D Visualization and Motion Graphics, while leveraging various Technical Art and Animation skill sets, including the creation of custom Shaders, Material Designs, and Rigs. With this portfolio, I actively display experience from the work I've developed professionally in fields such as Medicine, Education, Engineering, and Advertising. I enjoy technical problem-solving, asset production, procedural design, and 3D pipeline optimization. I continue to consider myself a student of the arts, and deeply enjoy sharing with and learning from fellow artists and creatives by way of meaningful feedback, communication, and skill advancement.
I currently work as a Senior/Lead Visualization Specialist, managing a small, capable department within the field of Engineering Analysis. While much of my work is currently confidential, I continue to develop my skill sets both in and out of the office. I look forward to continue presenting my active artistic and technical development with fun, unique personal projects.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy what you see!
