Summary
I am passionate about art and entertainment, from a very young age I was accompanying my father who worked for many years in stage design for theater, film and television, and seeing these non-existent places in the functional sense but that came to life in front of the camera and through television and film and how these perspectives penetrate deeply into the people who observe, that's why I started in digital art and 3D, first designing small commercial stands, going through television sets and now complete worlds with all kinds of of details make me feel on a path that is just beginning and that has no end.
At some point all this was connected to video games, their diversity, challenges and the infinity of worlds and perspectives they present made me think of ways to use all these great ideas as such in the physical world, as it was before with scenery.
I specialize in Environment Design, Level Design, Set Dressing and Lightning, Hard Surfaces Modeling, Digital painting for materials and concept art and production in general, although it is not my forte, in the technical area I have a medium management and understanding regarding Blueprints and Particles and VFX
I am extremely proactive but I am not in favor of crunching, I have the ability to lead small and medium-sized teams, always trying to generate the means and ways for the team to work as comfortably and efficiently as possible, analyzing each profile and assigning tasks accordingly, as well as creating spaces for the advancement and evolution of the talent of less experienced colleagues.
