3D animation is my passion, and I have over three years of experience animating in both Maya and Blender.

Motion Capture

I have experience with the full motion capture pipeline: capturing, retargeting, and cleaning using MotionBuilder & Maya

About Me

Who am I?

🎓 I’m a third-year 3D Animation student at AUT, passionate about storytelling through animation and immersive experiences.

My strengths include Maya keyframe animation, Unreal Engine 5 animation integration, and working with Motion Capture, including performance and facial capture. I also have experience developing VR and XR experiences, combining technical skill with creative intent.

I was selected as a peer mentor for first and second-year AVG Digital Design students based on my high performance, strong communication skills, and positive attitude. In this role, I support students within my course while continuing to grow as both an artist and collaborator.

Known for being a fast learner with a proactive mindset, I’m always looking to take on new challenges. I’m actively seeking opportunities in the animation and game industry. If you’re hiring or open to a chat, I’d love to connect.
