Biography
It’s been a joy helping to define the look and feel of so many award-winning AAA game titles over my 13+ years working at EA, Weta Workshop and Ubisoft, but the highlight of my career is the collaborative process of working with amazingly talented teams every day. Let’s work together to kick things up a notch on your next big project!
