Experience

  • Firearms Concept Designer at SQETCH Studio

    Via SQETCH Studio it was my pleasure and honor to work full-time on my first AAA project in the video game industry, working for Sharkmob. I've designed weapons of about every class, including attachments. I learned working with industry standard pipelines, changing direction when necessary, and working in a team. I've had a great time, met amazing people and created some awesome designs.

  • Freelance Industrial / Concept Designer at Crosman Corp

    Worked in a team to develop air rifles, BB and gel-BB guns, and foam dart blasters. I was responsible for early explorations, design iterations and pre-production CAD modeling. Over a two year period I was involved in over 13 projects, some of which can be found in my portfolio.
