‘Take Flight’ (Upcoming)
Animated 3D/CGI short, created by a small group of students at Brown University, about a father connecting with his daughter in her own magical world. [Still in production – currently being edited for festival circuits.]
Personal work includes working on the story development team, taking lead on pre-production visual development (2D concept art, prop design, shading tests), painting background matte paintings, contributions to 3D set modeling (Maya, Mudbox), creating hand-painted and procedural texturing on props (3Dcoat, Substance Painter, Photoshop) and contributing to post-production and editing .
Compositing
All elements animated in After Effects.
Background Matte Paintings
Created in Photoshop and Procreate, painted in layers to be put into Maya with perspective/parallax.

Color, Set, Prop Design - Visual Development
Designing set and prop color, texture, and style using Photoshop and Procreate; creating film color keys; exploring environment design.
Hand-Painted, Procedural Texturing
Applying efficient UV unwrapping workflow; using Substance Painter, Substance Designer, 3D Coat, and Photoshop to create hand-painted textures/height & normal maps/roughness maps; connecting all the textural nodes and maps in Maya.
And creating original hand-made, real pastel textures (using Photoshop to make it tileable) that were used as tile textures on a cliff and grass 3D set.
