Experience

• Mid-Level 3D Environment Artist at Player First Games and Warner Bros Games

  Chicago, US

  November 2021 - April 2025

  I worked on the Maps Team creating different stages for our fighting game, "Multiversus". My responsibilities include blocking out the stages and backgrounds in Unreal, taking those blockouts into Maya where they are refined, uv-ed, and broken up for lightmap optimization. I sculpt higher-res details in Zbrush and bake down my texture maps in either Marmoset or Substance Painter. Most often I will further push our stylized art style by painting detail using those baked maps in Photoshop or 3DCoat. Using those game-ready meshes and textures, I built out our fighting stages piece by piece, refining details and placements with input from my team members, our art lead, and playtesters. Before maps are released, I spent time tweaking lighting and light bakes, some light VFX work, texture optimization and low-res asset culling in case of console restrictions, and any last minute additions that'll delight our players.
