With over a decade of experience in the visual effects industries, I create digital imagery with a focus on product branding, advertising and virtual reality. I strive to solve technical and aesthetic problems through collaborative efforts with Art Directors, Digital Artists and Supervisors. By blending CGI, design concepts and photography, I am able to provide creative agencies a finely tuned digital branded experience.
Lighting, compositing, lookdev, previs, UI/UX and documentation for VR & 2D applications. Products include Vehicle Hero Stills, 360 Spins, Trim & Paint Builds as well as VR assets for Oculus Rift and Gear VR.
My primary focus is maintaining product branding in addition to providing a connective consumer experience.
Clients: Jaguar Land Rover, GM, Kia, Nissan, Datsun, Mitsubishi, Honda.
