After completing college, and alongside working part-time jobs, I devoted two years to intensive self-directed study with a strong focus on material art and creation. This period was instrumental in developing a deep understanding of the principles behind high-quality texture and surface creation, which are essential to achieving realism and visual storytelling in 3D environments. As part of this, I studied and practiced the nodes of substance designer, including procedural texture generation, PBR workflows, and sculpting detailed surface information. I dived into Substance Designer, Substance Painter, and ZBrush—learning to create complex, reusable materials which i then also rendered in Marmoset Toolbag Through this, I gained hands-on experience in crafting everything from organic surfaces to hard-surface materials, with a focus on accuracy, efficiency, and artistic intent.

When working for Vision for Education, for almost two years, I worked at many different schools, in many different settings. I worked with children and young adults from the ages of 3-19. I worked timelessly to provide the best tailored learning environment for each individual person. Adapting to each situation every day and giving my best to the students every day.
