HOMETOPIA

Lead Technical Artist on Hometopia, a sandbox home-building game released on Steam on April 2, 2025. Responsibilities spanned technical art pipeline development, custom tooling, and procedural systems designed to support a growing team of artists. Work included shader authoring, LOD and performance optimization, and developing Blender and Houdini tools to accelerate asset production.

The game gives players thousands of assets and customization options across a variety of environments, with no budget limits — free-form building in sandbox mode, real-time multiplayer so friends can design entire neighborhoods together, ready-made homes to build on, landscaping tools for outdoor spaces, and a built-in camera and portfolio system for sharing creations with the community. GamesRadar+ called it "the best parts of The Sims 4 and House Flipper."
