Worked in various art roles for Irrational Games on these titles:

Bioshock – senior artist

On Bioshock I was responsible for creating many assets as well as prototyping new systems such as the dying vines in arcadia. I also helped optimise assets so that the levels ran at an acceptable framerate. My reliability and ability to work with other employees to create assets and solve problems helped fix the many issues which occurred during production.

and created all the new character models.

Freedom Force Vs The Third Reich – senior artist

I scripted the in-game cutscenes working with the design team

and created props and sets for the cutscenes as needed.

Tribes Vengeance – mid level artist

On Tribes Vengeance I worked with animators and used motion capture to create animations for the in-game cutscenes. I also animated lip-synch, created sets for the cutscenes, and some level assets.

Freedom Force – artist

For Freedom Force I worked with the designers to script the in-game cutscenes as well as animating the hand drawn cutscenes and creating level assets.

1997 – 2001

Employed at Brilliant Interactive Ideas as a lead modeler where I supervised up to 8 artists and scheduled tasks for them.
