Work and History
Microsoft XBOX - Zenimax Online Studios
Associate Technical Artist on Unannounced AAA MMORPG
As a pipeline technical artist I focused on making creative work easier through programming and tooling.
Savannah College of Art and Design
B.A. in Visual Effects
Taking into account my lifelong interests in technology and art, I pursued a degree in Visual Effects. During my time studying at SCAD I expanded my experiences across advanced visual disciplines including 3D workflows, simulations, photogrammetry, film, compositing, concept art, shader development, and Python scripting.
I also had the opportunity to collaborate with the SCAD IT department, assisting and shadowing their work as they solved a significantly impactful bug I had identified on the network render farm. As a result of this collaboration, I independently created a comprehensive farm usage guide for SCAD students covered here.
Additionally, I had the honor of being a leader within the Concept Art and the Motion Capture clubs.
The Highlander News
Design Editor-in-Chief, Website Editor-in-Chief, Head Artist, Graphic Designer, & Broadcast Tech Lead
Monthly Newsmagaine & Daily Broadcast
My time working on The Highlander lead to significant evolution and growth resulting ownership over several creative and technical roles.
I started as a recruited Cartoonist, knowing little-to-nothing, and was given the opportunity, encouragement, and free reign to actively pick up skills, exponentially increasing my capabilities and contributions across the broadcast and newsprint teams.

Technology Instruction Corporation ("TIC")
Staff Assistant + Counselor (Filmmaking)
I attended this camp as an animation student every year since early elementary school.
(Shout out to Adobe Flash and Maya 2008!) As well, I spent some time programming and greatly enjoyed composing music with Ableton.
As an employee, I used my near-decade experience attending the McLean TIC location to support the staff as a staff assistant, and then spent time as a Counselor teaching cinematography and video editing.
Metaphor International School
Volunteer Arts Department Teaching Assistant
I begun attending this school around the time I started elementary school. I greatly attribute my retaining of the Russian language to my time and experiences as a part of this community. In middle school I began volunteering as an assistant to the arts department and spent time helping students gain skills across artistic disciplines, including ceramics, painting, and cultural dance classes.
