Summary

I am a 23 year old gameplay animator from the Netherlands. The last project I worked on was Horizon Forbidden West, where I worked on Living world and Cinematics.

Currently I am working at Ninja Theory where I help out on Hellblade 2

The work I do is a blend between motion capture and handkey animation done in Maya and Motionbuilder. I have also worked with the Unreal and Decima engines.
