Digital Compositor

Coming into VFX with both an artistic photography and a technical background doing some engineering, Compositing was the perfect fit. I continue to do professional photography on the side and make things with my 3D printer and do traditional woodworking. I graduated from Otis College of Art and Design in 2005 majoring in Digital Media and have worked in the industry doing a variety of projects ever since.
