I specialize in 3D art – box modeling, sculpting, rigging, UV mapping, texturing, etc. The ability to compose a living breathing world or a complex character that can skip and hop is something unique to the 3D medium. I can extend this to game design and create an entire universe waiting to be explored and discovered. Combining narrative, visuals, and responsive design is one of the most fascinating and engaging mediums of expression and art to me. It was this fascination I had with video games that established the foundation for my indie game design journey when I was just 10 years old. I am genuinely impressed by the effort I put in to see myself progress from a 3D program and game engine like fragMOTION and GameMaker to Blender/Maya and my team’s own custom game engine. The former programs required me to carefully and deliberately input numbers to model, animate and rig characters to bring them to life. But with the latter programs, all of that could be done with buttons that would automate the entire process. But hey, you need

I am a big fan of traditional animation – cartoons and anime. To preface, “anime” and "cartoons" are incredibly broad and vague in the sense of art style, narratives, and intent.
