Senior Technical Shader Artist | Art Director

Summary

With 9+ years across films and games, I bridge art and technology to build worlds that feel authentic. From defining visual direction as an Art Director to creating scalable shader systems and real-time rendering pipelines, I specialize in materials, lighting, and technical workflows. Whether stylized or realistic, my focus is on crafting visuals that serve the story - because great worlds aren't just seen, they're remembered.
