My career goal is to become a Lead Surfacing Technical Artist on feature films and games.

I was never a big fan of games or animation -I only consumed that sort of media causally like everyone else. That was until I played a video game with the main character that shared commonalities with me. Race, religion, ideas. I remember the feeling it gave me -that I wasn't alone, that people like me were included in popular media beyond just being the villains. So, afterward, I decided to switch my career path and take steps to becoming a 3D artist.
