A Bit About Me
I am a highly experienced 3D Graphics Artist with 17 years of expertise in creating
high-quality 3D assets for mobile and PC games, as well as animations and television
productions. My skill set extends beyond 3D environment creation (including low and
high-poly modeling, UV mapping, and lighting setup) to encompass strong knowledge
of 2D software and proficiency in working with textures and concept art.
In my years of experience, I have demonstrated comprehensive knowledge of game
development and advanced skills in both 3D graphics and traditional arts. A notable
example of my work is the mobile game SQUAREFACE, which allowed me to
develop all 3D assets, including environments, characters, weapons, vehicles,
animations, and interface elements. Additionally, I was responsible for level design,
scripting, and story writing on this project.
Over the course of my career, I have led teams and managed projects, consistently
delivering high-quality results while ensuring efficient production processes and
timelines are met.
