I am a VFX professional with over a decade of production experience from high-profile Studios around the World.

As an individual, I enjoy problem-solving and look at every Visual Effects challenge as an opportunity to create extraordinary imagery. Aside from the visuals, I enjoy developing tools and designing well-thought-out workflows that support my teams working efficiently.

As a leader, I strive to guide my teams to produce imagery that is both visually interesting and pleasing to the eye, while grounding the work with photoreal properties. I believe the success of a project consists of a balance between well executed creative work, and open communication, combined with great processes and technical solutions that support the visual storytelling.

I am a member of The Visual Effects Society. Additionally, I have thought advanced compositing courses at University level, and I enjoy helping young talent grow in this industry.

Specialties: Compositing, Team management, Nuke and pipeline tools (Python). Extensive deep compositing and native stereo experience.
