About Me

I'm currently working as a freelance web developer, but I am trying to get into the game industry. I have two degrees from the Illinois Institute of Art - Schaumburg, in Media Arts & Animation, and Game Art and Design.

I have been using 3D software since the days when you had to enter the XYZ coordinates of each vertex manually, and then go to another screen to see what your model looked like. I'm proficient in 3D Studio Max (which I have been using since R3), and have just begun using ZBrush. I am also capable of creating photorealistic images in Photoshop, whether textures or scenes.

Game programming is another subject that interests me, but aside from a few small flash games, I am still just beginning to learn about it.

You can see most of my work at my website, versatileartist.com .
