Hello! I'm a passionate artist with 20+ years of visual effects industry experience in feature film, episodic and commercial projects. My capability, ambition, great communication skills, and love for mentoring others is what I strive to bring to any position I hold, along with a never ending enthusiasm for learning. My main area of expertise is in 3D modeling and texture painting. I have a sharp eye for details, and always maintain a focus on the goal. I have 4 years of experience in department supervision including with remote teams. I like taking the initiative organizing and keeping large tasks manageable. I am also a traditional illustrator and painter with a background in art education.
