About Me

Hello! I’m a technical artist who specializes in lighting, shaders, and the workflows surrounding them. With a versatile skill set that I attribute to a foundational knowledge of both computer science and traditional art, I’m able to adapt to tasks on both ends of the spectrum. My artistic experience includes environment lighting, narrative lighting, and marketing renders, while my technical experience includes shader authoring, gameplay systems (i.e. dynamic time of day), and tools scripting. My dual skill set also allows me to serve as a key communicator between rendering engineers and artists.

In my off time I usually take long walks in the forest looking for mushrooms (which grow plentifully in the Pacific Northwest), along with my wife and two greyhounds. I also enjoy talking about meteorological phenomena from time to time.
