Fox Forest
I was a Teacher Assistant in the Junior Game Studio where students create a game from concept to publishing. I was the Team Manager, Project Lead, and Lead Lighter. I made sure everyone had tasks and made deadlines while also teaching Unreal Engine 4, Maya, and both Substance Painter and Substance Designer.

Get Slotted: An Escape
Made during the College for Creative Studies 2018 48 Hour Challenge from the prompt "Little Happy has a big problem" I lead a team of five other artists to create a 1980's Mafia-Inspired VR Escape room taking influence from I Expect You to Die (2016) and The Godfather (1972).

Space Ship
I was commissioned to create a crashed spaceship for the student film Amber an Alien by Jonah Stoppel. Modelled in Maya with inspiration from Sputnik and rocket turbines, it went through a brief texturing in Substance Painter where I played around with the programs Anchor system. I handed off the ship and ground to Stoppel who then composited it into his film.
