I received my Masters of Fine Art in Architectural Visualizations from Texas A&M University in 2018 and I have been working as a 3D artist in the Dallas, Texas area since my graduation. I mainly specialize in modeling and texturing, but I also have experience with other parts of the animation pipeline such as rigging, lighting, animation and post production.
