What I Do

Character & Environment Design

Original characters and worlds built from scratch — no templates, no stock, no shortcuts.

Immersive Installations

Real-time environments and interactive exhibits that respond to your audience.

AI-Driven Experiences

Generative pipelines, voice AI, and character systems — not gimmicks, tools.

Creative Direction

Art direction and world-building from concept through final delivery.

Prototyping & R&D

Fast iteration in Unreal, TouchDesigner, and custom toolchains.

Discover

Understand your vision, audience, and constraints.

Prototype

Build fast in-engine — real visuals, not decks.

Art-Direct

Refine through AI pipelines and creative iteration.

Deliver

Production-ready output, on time, no handoffs.

About

What
Makes
This
Different

Most practitioners do one of these: art direction, Unreal, AI pipelines, sound design, interaction design, teaching complex systems to other humans.

I do all of them — with 25 years of scar tissue behind each. I'm the person who bridges the technical and creative teams. I prototype in Unreal, pipe it through a generative AI workflow, and art-direct the result.

I don't chase hyperrealism. I'm not trying to recreate what already exists. I'm building characters and worlds that couldn't have come from anywhere else.
