About Me

I'm an 3D Weapons Concept Artist with 5+ years of AAA game development experience, including contributions to multiple Call of Duty titles at Activision. I specialize in creating immersive, game-ready weapons using modern pipelines—photogrammetry, PBR materials, and USD workflows. I'm actively developing weapons that demonstrate the technical and artistic quality expected in AAA production.

My unique value proposition: I combine deep technical expertise (USD pipeline development, custom tool creation, PBR material systems) with strong artistic vision (environment storytelling, lighting, composition). I've shipped games on multiple platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, PC) and understand the demands of AAA production schedules, quality standards, and cross-disciplinary collaboration.
