About Me
From 2016 to 2019 I studied game art at the University of Worcester and later in 2021 at Falmouth university for my masters. This was where I was able to discover my interest in the world of 3D art including character modelling and assets.
​
I have experience within the 3D character modelling pipeline, including high and low poly modelling, Texturing, Retopologizing, and implementation within game engines. I enjoy making stylized models but I also like to also branch out into other styles.
I can work with different software such as Zbrush, Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine 4 and Substance Painter
