Senior Technical Artist @ NC2 Media (Seattle) August 3, 2015

NC2 Media Seattle I can finally announce I've left 5TH Cell to spin up a satellite game studio for a media company called NC2 Media with some unbelievably talented friends and colleagues. We're 7 strong, still in greater Seattle, still making games, and I still can't discuss what I'm working on but I'm very excited about this opportunity.

At some point I'll be able to put together and release some of my work from 5TH Cell but for now I'm bound to secrecy.

Senior Technical Artist @ 5TH Cell August 1, 2013

5TH Cell - Great people, great times. I now work at 5TH Cell in Bellevue, WA. We're currently working on some unannounced titles. I am the studio's only technical artist so I manage the majority of content-creation tools and pipeline. I support 25 artists and designers and work alongside a team of about 25 software engineers.

I will be actively working on new art for my portfolio and tools for release to the public! Stay tuned.
