I have been in the Animation and VFX industry for over decade, constantly
updating both my creative and technical skills. I always feel the need to
creatively and technically up to date with how things work on the ground.
Thus, allowing me to better understand and manage the people I’ve
supervised. My biggest strength is adaptability, I learn and adapt fast to
various production environments. During my stints with projects, I always
look forward to challenging issues in production and seek to optimize the
efficiency while maintaining a high production quality. I’m well-verse in
various areas of production and constantly seek creative solutions to
challenging problems. Recent years have seen me take on roles of CG
Supervisor, VFX Supervisor and Animation Director, while also
implementing technological infrastructures and backend systems
