Experience

  • Junior Environment Artist at Raven Software
    June 2018 - Present

    Call of Duty: Black Ops 4

    As a Junior Environment Artist at Raven, I work in a collaborative team setting and am responsible for creating a variety of assets, models, materials, world geo, and set-dressing.

    I most recently worked on taking areas of the Blackout battle-royale map from blockout to final art. In order to ensure project goals of the Black Ops 4 launch schedule were met, I also worked on optimization and essential bug fixing tasks.

  • 3D Artist at Emergent Media Center
    Burlington, United States of America
    June 2016 - May 2018

    The Emergent Media Center is an academic Center of Excellence at Champlain College that, in partnership with industry, public institutions and nonprofits, creates a laboratory/studio environment in which students collaborate with each other, faculty and clients to develop new concepts, processes, uses and applications for games and other emergent media.

    Currently, I am a 3D Artist at the Emergent Media Center and my responsibilities include creating usable 3D prop and environment assets for the contracted or experimental projects the studio would work on. These assets usually followed a style guide determined by the client or the project needs. An example of a contracted released project was an interactive experience named Flight. I was responsible for most of the vehicles, FX, and some animation.

    Most recently, I worked on Eden VR, an olfactory Virtual Reality experience. We partnered with local Vermont business, Alice and the Magician, to deliver a scent-based narrative experience within a virtual reality environment.
