With over 20 years experience within the CG industry with exposure to so many different pipelines, render engines and clients I bring a vast amount of expertise to any team. My ability to learn new software and adapt to any method of working has been proven over the years.

Examples of my achievements include:

Privileged to have worked with 2 VFX Oscar winning teams whilst at Double Negative, Interstellar and Inception.

A pivotal role in creating a pipeline for caching extremely complex cg assets from animation to lighting for the TV show Lucifer, Devil face and Angel Wings. I was also responsible for Look Development of these assets.

Redesigning the way HDRI’s are created and processed from on set to in house use including grading and organising. This includes the testing of cameras and equipment.
