Hi all and welcome! I'm Tami, and I've been a Technical Artist in the games industry since 2019, most recently at Microsoft in Mixed Reality. During my career, I've worked on many different projects at Microsoft, including Microsoft Mesh for Teams, enabling you to bridge the camera on/camera off gap with a representative avatar, as well as OceanXplorers on National Geographic and Disney+.

I specialize in character rigging, Python/MEL scripting, artist tooling, and engine integration, with familiarity in C, C#, simulation, and VFX. I also led the Women at Microsoft: Mixed Reality Employee Resource Group, work as an adjunct technical art instructor at DigiPen Institute of Technology, and am accomplished public speaker on technical art and the games industry.

I attended DigiPen Institute of Technology, graduating in 2019 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Art and Animation. Outside of my work in Mixed Reality, I'm an avid sewist who loves recreating historical and fantasy gowns.
