I am an L.A. based FX artist with experience in the film and television industries. I feed off of the creativity of others and love to collaborate on exciting projects. I am detail oriented, work well under pressure and enjoy working on teams where I am being challenged artistically. My strongest skills are the design and creation of photo-realistic explosions, destructions, smoke, fire, debris, sparks, and dust.

I am always looking forward to my next adventure in FX and seeking to branch out to other artists and studios.
