Mid-level FX Artist / 8 yrs

Hire Me
After a degree in Computer Science, I worked as a programmer with some colleagues to create virtual instruments for musicians.

It was a great experience but my real passion was calling me.

I was always addicted to movies, comics, and cartoons, and I needed to apply my university studies to my passions. I found the perfect combination between my technical/math background and art-creating FX in Houdini.
