I work backwards from ideas, learning whatever tools and techniques are necessary to bring them to life. Seven years ago, I fell into the computer graphics rabbit hole as a self-driven hobbyist and emerged with a solid, cross-disciplinary foundation in 3D and digital media. I’m less interested in mastering a single tool than in understanding entire pipelines — how workflows connect, adapt, and evolve — and I thrive in a creative landscape where choosing how to build something is as important as the final result.
