About
I'm an artist and musician living in London, where I merge my two passions into vibrant expressions of creativity. My artistic journey began early, exploring various forms and techniques that have enriched my work. Over the past eight years, I've dived deep into the world of digital 3D art, blending technology with creativity to bring my visions to life.
After recently graduating from UAL, I have joined a team of artists and developers working as an environment artist for a game, creating a beautiful fantasy world. I'm also working on another game, taking on a generalist role that allows me to stretch my creativity even further. My current passion project is a painting series of musician portraits that celebrate the dynamic interplay between visual art and music.
Looking ahead, I'm excited about composing original soundtracks for games, adding another layer of emotion and depth to the gaming experience. Through my work, I aim to connect with people on a deeper level, leaving them with lasting impressions and a sense of wonder.
"Awakening" is a captivating cinematic experience that explores the transformative power of music within the mysterious confines of an ancient musician's abandoned home. Using advanced 3D rendering in Unreal Engine, this project immerses viewers in a serene yet enigmatic environment where time seemingly stands still. The narrative unfolds as music fills the air, awakening dormant beauty and breathing new life into the forgotten space. Through meticulously crafted visuals and enchanting melodies, "Awakening" portrays a seamless blend of art and nature, symbolizing hope and renewal. This project delves into the profound connection between creativity and transformation, celebrating music's ability to inspire change, evoke deep emotions, and rejuvenate both the environment and the human spirit.

"Forgotten Utopia" is an immersive scene that explores the mysterious remnants of an ancient underground civilization. Set within a lush, glowing cave filled with oversized, bioluminescent mushrooms and shimmering crystal clusters, the environment hints at a once-thriving society. This civilization built a prosperous city from mined riches, but their greed and obsession with these enchanting yet poisonous resources led to their downfall and eventual disappearance. The project weaves themes of fantasy, mystery, and decay, creating a detailed, believable environment that balances beauty and serenity with underlying tension and intrigue. I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and discovery, building anticipation as viewers experience the cave’s entrance and journey deeper into its story. Ultimately, the scene invites viewers to ponder themes of greed, hubris, and the silent remnants of a lost utopia, offering a richly detailed world that feels both magical and hauntingly real.
