  On Anthem, I managed the environment art team and created content with a focus on establishing fidelity quality, visual benchmarks, workflows, and best practices. Before Anthem, I managed artists for Mass Effect 3's post-release content. Working closely with the Art Director, I was responsible for ensuring quality was being met and that art direction was being followed. Aside from managing the environment art team I still created a large amount of content which included shader and texture creation, environment lighting, cinematic lighting, modeling, worldbuilding, collision, performance optimization and polish work for my own work as well as other artists' levels. I worked closely with design to come up with fun combat layouts for the multiplayer DLC as well as narrative and exploration moments in the Citadel DLC.Anthem (2013 - 2017)Mass Effect 3 DLC Citadel (2013) Mass Effect 3 DLC Retaliation (2012) Mass Effect 3 DLC Earth (2012) Mass Effect 3 DLC Rebellion Pack (2012) Mass Effect 3 DLC Resurgence Pack (2012)
