Summary

I am a freelance CG artist with a passion for visual storytelling and a strong focus on lighting. As an optimistic and self-driven individual, creative, I believe in lifelong learning and constantly seek to grow my technical and artistic skills. While my main interest lies in lighting, I am also open to roles in graphic design, 3D animation, video editing, compositing, and photography.
