About Me
I am an ambitious Procedural Technical Artist currently living in Portugal. I studied Computer Science at the University of Porto, and undertook my masters in 3D Games Art at Teesside University in the UK where I specialized in Technical Art and graduated top of my class.
While I have enjoyed both the artistic and programming side of game development for years, I found my true passion in proceduralism and generative 3D art. I'm creating games, tools, and interactive art. I like making things that get people to imagine, explore, create and immerse themselves in wonderful fictional worlds.
I love working together with enthusiastic people to create amazing projects, though I am very capable to work on my own. I am a social, self-motivated and adaptive learner with a broad skill set and a passion for games & technical art. I am available to work on all kinds of projects so for further information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
