ABOUT ME
I work in all forms of the 3D Pipeline, specializing in Rigging and Animation. Whether it comes to video games or animations, I have a passion for this medium and continue to push myself with every new project.
Currently I work as a 3D Rigging Artist and Animator for Aviary Productions, creating high quality and well optimized rigs for our Unreal Engine game Dark Aviary. Using a Blender to Unreal Engine workflow.
Previously, I was a full time LEGO Assistant Mast Model Builder for LEGOLAND DFW where I utilized 3D CAD software to plan and create big LEGO models before building them. I have also managed a Bricks and Minifigs store in CO where I did web design, and social media work, creating 3D animations and renders for marketing. I would also video edit and sometimes animate for TheFoldMusic's YouTube channel.
I have graduated from Rocky Mountain College of Art and Design with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 3D Animation.
