Unreal Engine Lighting & Cinematic Artist

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

I am an Unreal Engine Lighting & Cinematic Artist specializing in lighting, shot design, and spatial storytelling for narrative-driven real-time experiences. My work focuses on shaping mood, composition, and emotional pacing through light, camera, and environment.

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