I am a Senior In House Artist with over fifteen years of experience in feature visual effects at Vendors and Studios. My key strengths are VFX Design, Problem-solving, Post-vis, Pitch-Vis, Compositing, Lighting and Rendering, FX, and assisting the VFX supervisor in meeting the Director / Studio vision. In addition, I am committed to developing new workflows, increasing efficiency for turn around and creating reference shots for Vendors to streamline the outcome.
