Professional Summary
I am a passionate 3D Character Artist with over 6 years of experience in stylized and semi-realistic
character creation. Inspired by the works of TOART-studio and animated films from Disney and Pixar, I
specialize in building expressive, well-shaped characters.

Although I don’t have formal art education, I’ve loved drawing since childhood and have developed a
strong sense of form and silhouette. I’m detail-oriented and strive for perfection in every model. With over
20 years of gaming experience, I understand players’ perspectives and what makes a character truly
memorable. In my free time, I paint with watercolors, and play games.

I enjoy working both independently and as part of a team and striving for a clear, well-organized pipeline
and a positive working atmosphere. I have strong organizational and mentoring skills and enjoy sharing
my experience. I tend to stay with companies long-term, focusing on sustainable growth and deep
project involvement.
