Senior Lighting / Environment Artist

Summary
Lighting and Environment Artist for Games. I love solving puzzles - whether that's figuring out what makes a scene artistically beautiful, learning to build tools and materials with visual scripting to speed up my work, or trying to find what makes a team work well. Game development poses so many interesting questions and chances to learn. So if you have some interesting puzzles to solve, please reach out, I'd love to chat.
