Hi, nice to meet you!

I studied at Northeastern University with a major in Game Art and Animation. I’m originally from Johannesburg, South Africa! 

 

I am currently working as a Graphics/Realtime Artist at FOX Sports. I work on building and optimizing 3D assets, scans, and textures to be used in Unreal Engine for Virtual Production purposes. I have been involved in creating unique AR elements and XR environments for FOX’s LED stage, to be used on broadcasts such as NFL Sunday.

 

I also worked as an intern at Universal Pictures as part of the Creative Technologies team, where I built cinematic realtime environments for Universal’s LED volume. My role also included documenting the best workflows for 3D pipelines and game engines. My experiences have given me the opportunity to delve into the exciting world of Virtual Production for both film and broadcast.

 

As an artist and technologist, I love learning about a subject on every level and understanding the nuances of recreating it in 3D. I get really excited with new discoveries in achieving my creative goals, but at the core, I’m fascinated by how things work, which extends from learning new technology and tools.

 

Aside from 3D, I completed a degree in makeup artistry and have incorporated this interest into my work. Outside of work, I love doing makeup shoots (my work has been featured in a few editorial magazines!) I also love traveling, scuba diving, and boxing in my spare time.
