About

Visual Development and Cinematic Artist with professional experience contributing concept designs and 3D assets to productions at studios including Cloud Imperium Games, Ubisoft Montréal, and on Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots.

I specialise in early visual direction and cinematic execution working across concept art, previs, layout, and animation to help shape storytelling, world-building, and shot language.

Currently expanding my portfolio in previs, layout, and cinematic animation to grow toward film-focused roles and long-form storytelling pipelines.
