Overview
My First AAA Game
TopSpin 4 was my first AAA game, developed from start to finish — an exciting opportunity where Art and Technical Art met in a big way.
Modeling the pro players, writing tools, creating dynamic hair and clothing, working within a larger team and with outsourcing — it was my first truly great experience at that scale.

Bringing the Legends to Life
TopSpin 4 also brought back the Legends — iconic players from earlier eras who were no longer active on tour. Recreating them meant capturing their likeness and character from limited reference.
I worked on several of them, including Ivan Lendl and Andre Agassi, among others.
