Character Designer | Animator | 3D Modeller | Digital Painter | Rigger | Game Developer | Game Designer

 

A graduate of OCAD University's Digital Futures undergraduate, specializing in the making of video games in more of an indie focus.

Most recently, I built out the games team, and served as team lead for Twenty Billion Neurons. In this time I was responsible for creating modelling and rigging the Allie Trainer character, for the AI fitness app Fitness Ally, while managing the ticketing and roadmap of features, and representing my team throughout the scrum process.

My current main areas of focus are 3D characters and animation (modelling, rigging. texturing, and animating, in Blender, with substance painter), game development (C# scripting in Unity), 2D animation (Photoshop CC, Blender), and digital painting (Photoshop CC).
