ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m a Senior Environment Artist specializing in layout and real-time environment creation. I work primarily in Unreal Engine, with additional experience in 3ds Max, and I thrive in both linear and virtual production pipelines. My focus is on creating immersive, believable worlds—whether for film, TV, VR, or live performance.
How Did I Get Here
My journey began in the USA, working on Seabourn cruise safety demos, crafting virtual environments that helped communicate crucial information. I then joined DNEG and Dimension Studio, where I contributed to virtual productions like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Those About to Die, as well as other titles for Amazon, Apple TV, and more. I worked hands-on with LED volume stages, often in small agile teams, managing scene layout, environment blocking, optimization, and occasional modeling and texturing.
Following that, I moved into VR experiences, creating environments for iconic brands like Givenchy and The Macallan. At Jellyfish Pictures, I handled the entire environment pipeline for a dinosaur-themed VR experience—everything from blocking to final polish.
More recently, I took on the role of Senior Environment Artist for a live theater production in Kuwait, integrating real-time environments with stage performance using a massive LED wall. I also worked on a gladiator documentary with Dash Pictures, where I built a full Unreal Engine colosseum, complete with a dynamic, animated crowd.

What Inspires Me
I’m driven by the idea of worldbuilding—of creating spaces that transport people somewhere new. I love the challenge of making something technically sound yet artistically compelling. Whether it’s for a screen, a headset, or a live stage, I aim to build environments that not only look good but feel right.
