Experience
This is my LLC that I do freelance work under. I prefer freelance projects that allow me to work remotely. My focus includes digital matte paintings (photoreal and concept), VFX, compositing, environment art, and game art. I also sell my digital art and games under my LLC.
This is my current full-time position. As the Manager, I provide leadership to a team of instructional designers focused on design and development of videos and eLearning (web based training) for sales enablement. This role requires me to use the same professional & creative skills I would need to use if I worked on a project at a VFX or game studio. In this role, my team and I use Adobe Creative Cloud, Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, and Camtasia Studio extensively to create eLearning courses.
Completed two consecutive 10 week workshops to learn how to use Unity and C# to create Virtual Reality (VR) experiences.
