My name is Tariq Lateef. I was born in India and moved to the United States in 1996 at the age of nine. At a very young age I had chosen art as form of expression and since then have turned it into my career. Currently, I am a 3d Artist at a simulation lab in Washington D.C. I work towards creating 3d art assets for medical simulation and training platforms. On a more personal level I like to model, texture, and light architectural and hard-surface objects. In the future I hope to lead a team of like minded artists in developing various different softwares, games, and simulations for the world wide media industry.
