ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
"When I entered the gaming industry as a digital artist, rigging and animation quickly became a passion for me. Game production is all about teamwork. As an animator, I can bring my colleagues' brilliant designs to life, and as a rigger, I provide other animators with accessible tools for their work.
As with my background in art history, looking at craftsmenship both through the lens of an artist as well as through analytical thinking, I find myself at home at the interceptions of art and technology, trying to find sustainable solutions for reoccurring challenges."

"I had the pleasure of working with Kevin during his internship on our tech animation team, and he was a fantastic addition from day one. He came in to help free up my time, but quickly proved he could take ownership of tasks and bring real value on his own.
Kevin works independently, communicates clearly, and consistently looks for ways to improve things. He spent time with our animators to understand their needs and built tools and workflows that had a massive impact on their productivity. He doesn't wait to be told what to do—he identifies problems and finds smart, practical solutions.
One of his biggest contributions was kickstarting a motion capture workflow for the team—something we hadn’t done before. He took the lead on researching, building, and implementing it, and the result was a well-structured, dependable pipeline that fit seamlessly into our production environment.
Kevin is sharp, motivated, and easy to collaborate with. He’d be a great asset to any team."
