About

Hi, my name is Trace! I am a 3D Lighting Artist, 3D Generalist, and digital illustrator. I am currently working at Meta via TEKSystems as a Data Annotator. Previously, I have been at Apple via Mindlance as a 2D/3D Data Imagery Editor. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Visualization from Texas A&M University in May 2024.

My main 3D focus is lighting. I love to delve into new scenes, find what works for each environment, and tell a story through lighting and composition. I enjoy finding the balance between physical realism and artistic direction in each scene I light. Although lighting is my main focus, I am also proficient in numerous other 3D areas such as compositing, look development/surfacing, character rigging, visual effects, modeling, and more.

In my free time, I like to draw my original characters and world-build the universe they reside within. I occasionally sell original art merchandise such as charms, prints, and stickers. When I’m not doing creative work, I am usually spending time with my cats Kiwi and Mango.
