Hello!

I'm a Canadian currently living in Vancouver. I am a cg generalist specializing in modeling, texturing, lookdev, and hair.

I love being a generalist and exploring different areas of cg. There's always a new challenge and it keeps me accountable in my work throughout every stage.

What is most important to me are the people that surround me. I like being part of a team and hope to continue to grow as an artist alongside my talented peers.

Thanks for stopping by!
