I am Seasoned XR professional with over 20 years of combined industry experience across VR development, 3D animation, post production and interactive design. I love working solo but love leading teams bridging the gap between artist and engineer delivering experiences in gaming, entertainment, commercial platforms, and beyond.

I believe firmly that all creative mediums share a simple DNA, whether we’re talking about cooking food, writing a story, or producing a piece of music - we’re putting the right ingredients in the right place at the right time - and what is “right” is what makes the artist.

Joining as an early member of Supernatural’s design team in 2019 through acquisition in 2023 - 2025 I evolved my role as a 3D artist and Unity developer into a technical artist and manager working closely with designers, engineers and leadership, pushing creative and technical implementations for novel VR fitness experiences, actively involved from prototype to finish. I’ve been lucky to work on long term projects with noteworthy contributions to :

    • Close collab with design and studio to prototype tutorial

    • Co-Direction of MoCap assets for final tutorial implementation

    • Polish and Finishing phases up to release

  • UI/UX polish and implementation across quest app from product launch onward, bridging gap between design and eng to maintain standards within Unity

  • Management of tech art, environment artist, and sound design team members

  • Close collaboration with GFX engineers to develop HDR pipeline within a custom framework to enable Env artists to produce high quality HDR capable assets with a custom lighting toolset

  • Primary tools and skillsets :

    • Modeling & 3D asset management : C4D / Blender

    • 2D asset creation (textures, UI, VFX, Animation) : Adobe Suite (PS, AE, Premeir, Illustrator) Figma

    • Engine and Prototyping : Unity 3D - C#, ShaderGraph, ShaderForge, Basic HLSL/ShaderLab, Shuriken PS, Timeline Sequencing, UI frameworks (unity UI and custom frameworks)
