I am an Art Director/ 3D Artist and Multimedia Specialist with 15+ years experience specializing in interactive
productions and pre-rendered art with 3D and multimedia broadcast applications such as Modo, Lightwave3D,
3DsMax, Maya, and the Adobe Creative Suite . I'm interested in working for a great company with a highly
motivated and skilled art team. I am recently credited for Art and Art Direction on the following iOS game titles
by Dig-it! Games:
Loot Pursuit: Pompeii (2014), iOS Mobile App, Dig-it! Games
Loot Pursuit: Tulum (2013), iOS Mobile App, Dig-it! Games
Mayan Numbers (2013), iOS Mobile App, Dig-it! Games
(3D Software used: Modo, Lightwave 3D)
I have served as the 3D Visualization Director at Howard University for their 2012 General Motors PACE
(Partnership for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering Education) 3D concept car design challenge,
which was presented in Shanghai, China (3D Software used: Modo, Lightwave 3D). I also had the pleasure
of working with military contracting agencies such as Schafer Corporation on 3D visualizations for DARPA
(Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) (3D Software used: Lightwave 3D, Maya, 3DsMax).
I got my start as a 3D Artist at Firaxis Games, lead by legendary game designer Sid Meier, where I served as
a 3D Artist and Cinematic Director for the AAA award winning PC titles:
Sid Meier's Civilization III (Gold Edition) (2003), Atari Europe S.A.S.U.
Sid Meier's Civilization III (Limited Edition) (2001), Infogrames, Inc.
