  Principal Environment Artist at Refactor Games
  US

  As an Environment Artist on the FIFA franchise at Refactor Games, I manage the end-to-end visual pipeline for complex real-time environments—taking levels from early block-outs to final AAA polish. I collaborate closely with Art Directors and Leads to translate real-world stadium references into immersive, high-quality levels while carefully managing architectural, organic, and engine memory budgets. By bridging the gap between art, design, and engineering, I consistently deliver high-end visuals that stay within technical performance limits.
