Due to redundancies I am now looking for work!
I have 5 years of experience as a 3d artist. I am primarily looking for full time positions in studio or remote but open to other options.
Any reposts are appreciated! 🙏

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

Check out our big preview of MEWGENICS.

I played 30+ hours of the game, interviewed Edmund and Tyler and put together a 35 minute preview about one of 2026’s biggest games.

It's that time again, folks. I have been told I will be let go from Heart Machine next week. The people there have been amazing friends and coworkers and anyone else who has been affected deserves all the love and support.

I will be updating my portfolio soon; any Env Art leads would be appreciated
