Remote Management
"When Encore started working from home due to COVID, JJ was the best supervisor I could've asked for. He was very supportive and always helped to figure out pipeline/asset problems that I'd run into. He is very knowledgeable about the 3D modeling pipelines and skilled at managing artists so they are not overworked or stressed. I look forward to working with JJ again in the future and would recommend him to any studio that needs a professional and caring supervisor."
