Summary
I am an experienced and skilled artist with a background founded in drawing and sculpting. I am specialized in animation but my experience in games production has taught me to be adaptable.
I am always dedicated to the development of my skills as an animator and artist. My creativity has been and remains my driving force.
I am used to working in teams with tight deadlines. Working closely with my leads, managing my own tasks and keeping tabs of where work affects my team mates.
I enjoy socializing with my work colleagues and have enjoyed working in many cities. I am keen to work with like minded people, to learn and develop new approaches to animating and cg art.
I aspire to hold a lead position in an art team, it is however for me secondary to developing my skills as an artist. My most enjoyable time has been in working with great artists who share expertise and feedback to make our work as good as it can be.
