CV
I am a real-time environment and lighting artist working in Unreal Engine 5, with design and delivery either side of it. I assemble, light and compose scenes. I direct concept art across original IP. I have designed, built and shipped three production websites, and I still host them. Running my own studio has meant owning every stage, from first sketch through to live, rather than one slice of it.
