I am a highly experienced Senior Staff Character Artist, with over 25 years of developing CG characters for titles across various platforms and consoles. Specializing in art pipeline and process development, I act as Product Owner of the Visual Fidelity development team at Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Specialties: 3D modeling(organic and hard surface), Modular Character systems, Character Rigging, facial animation, deformation/blend shapes, Cloth simulation, Hair grooming, texturing, painting, drawing, sculpting, concept art, digital photography, graphic design, branding, digital art, social media, and marketing.
