Summary
I'm a senior Unreal Engine artist with over 10 years of experience in environment design, lighting, and scene optimization. My specialty lies in building immersive, performance-ready worlds—from initial layout and mood planning to final polish and cinematic lighting.
I bring a strong balance of visual storytelling and technical execution, with deep knowledge of Unreal Engine 4/5, Lumen, and asset optimization workflows. Whether assembling environments from modular kits or guiding performance through efficient lighting and draw call management, I focus on clarity, impact, and player experience.
I’ve spent years owning the full environment pipeline—from blockout to final lighting pass—and I’m passionate about helping teams unify their visual direction. My long-term goal is to grow into an Art Director role where I can shape cohesive artistic vision while mentoring artists in technical quality, layout, and lighting design.
