About

Environment Art
(Architecture / Gameplay interactions / Props)

Notable titles I've worked on: Overwatch 2 seasons 1-11, Prey 2017 & Prey: Mooncrash, Simcity 2013 & Simcity: Cities of Tomorrow, Resident Evil 4 VR, previs for Perfect Dark remake. I helped the Layout team on the original Rooster Teeth television show Gen:Lock season 1 for cinematic shot development. For a short time in 2015, I created some vanity mods for Cities Skylines supporting myself via Patreon. I've also made map contributions to "custom games" in Counterstrike 1.6, Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos, and Starcraft Broodwar.
