Unreal Engine Cinematic Artist | Layout & Lighting





Bridging cinematic layout, lighting, and spatial storytelling through real-time worldbuilding.


I am an Unreal Engine Cinematic Artist specializing in camera layout, lighting, and spatial storytelling for narrative-driven real-time production. My work focuses on shaping mood, composition, and emotional pacing through environment layout, lighting design, and virtual camera movement.

With a foundation in architecture, I work across short films, music videos, and previs pipelines, collaborating closely with directors and art teams to build cinematic real-time experiences for film, games, previs, and virtual production.
