I'm a CG artist focusing on lighting, lookdev and environments. Love overworldy spaces and storytelling trought light and materials.

I got into CG and Animation during my films studies and have been in career changing path for the last few years. After working as a creative designer for a few years I feel in love with visual story-telling and fantastic world created in the film and game industries and wanted to be a part of creating such worlds.
