I work in film Production Design designing digital and physical spaces for storytelling.
For the past 15 years most of my projects were big budget studio films with several semi-independent releases in the mix. I also had exposure to commercials design and CGI execution as well as spatial design for companies and live events. I have an extensive 3D computer graphics experience built on an advanced architectural, design and art history background.
