Matt graduated from Winnipeg's Red River College Digital Multimedia and Technology program in 2009, having specialized in the 3D modeling and animation. He then went on to graduate in 2010 from the 3d Computer graphics program. His experience now includes environment, character and equipment modeling, in both Maya and Z-brush and has worked extensively in Photoshop.

He is the proud wearer of a number of hats, including Bibliophile, webcomic artist and firm believer in the concept of animation as a serious medium. His zest for design is matched only by his...well, we're still working that part out.

"What guides and drives me throughout all my work, 3d especially, is a deep seated desire to simply create. For as long as I can remember I have been crafting worlds in my head, and now thanks to my education, I can begin rendering those dreams in all their CG glory."-Matt

PROFILE:

I work well in both an individual capacity and in a group setting, and am punctual and dedicated to seeing work through to the end. I am organized, detail oriented, thorough, self sufficient, but not afraid to ask questions if confronted without something outside my experience. My driving force in everything is a strong desire to create and an enjoyment in working with others toward a common goal.
