I am a visual effects compositor. On a daily basis, I use compositing techniques such as 3D cameras and geometry, projections, tracking and keying to complete highly complex paint tasks and final comps for feature films.

I have worked as an artist on more than 90 feature film and television projects at studios such as Industrial Light & Magic, PDI/DreamWorks, Digital Domain, LAIKA and MPC.
