About Me
I have been an Environment Artist in the games industry for over 15 years, working across studios of all sizes, from small indie teams to mid-sized productions and into AAA.
Games have been a long-standing passion of mine, not only in terms of art creation, but also game design, storytelling, and how players experience and interact with virtual worlds.
This passion has shaped my approach to environment art, where I focus on a balance between strong assets and how they integrate within the game world to support storytelling and immersion. I believe environment art is most effective when it feels grounded, through lighting, composition, materials, and the way spaces are built and connected.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked at Rockstar Games, as part of the core team that helped define and evolve our environment art production standards, workflows and techniques.
I continue to stay hands-on with evolving tools, engines, and workflows as the medium evolves, and I am excited to see where it is heading next.
I appreciate you taking the time to visit my portfolio, and please feel free to get in touch if you have feedback or think there could be an opportunity to collaborate.
