Los Angeles, United States
Hi there!!😊 I'm a 3D game artist specializing in lighting and cinematics for AAA games.
I am currently an Intermediate Lighting Artist @ Insomniac Games (PlayStation Studios) working on Marvel's Wolverine. Previously, I contributed to Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 at Insomniac and worked on Genshin Impact at miHoYo. Over the years, I’ve gained major experience across stylized and hyper-realistic game environments and cinematics pipelines.
If you're interested in my work or just want to chat—feel free to reach out! I'd love to connect!
