Summary
I'm currently working as a Senior Game Artist for Babeltime US in San Mateo, working mostly as the only 3D artist. I'm always happy to discuss contracts and permanent opportunities. I graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Computer Science, but after developing games, I fell in love with 3D art. Now I am constantly working to improve myself as a 3D artist. I enjoy working on all aspects of 3D art, so I'd consider myself a 3D generalist.
I'm a hard worker and am willing to learn anything to better myself as an artist. I also work very well with others, having come from a programming background.
