RESUME

about me

With over 19 years of experience in post-production, I’ve had the privilege of wearing multiple hats as a CG generalist. My journey has allowed me to dive deep into 3D animation, motion graphics and visual effects.

​

In recent years, I've specialized in 3D animation, focusing on hard surface/inorganic modeling, texturing/surfacing, and environment creation. I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to award-winning short-form and long-form projects at facilities of various sizes.

​

I believe that a positive and collaborative environment is key to creative excellence. Managing teams of up to 20 artists, I strive to lead by example, fostering a culture of innovation and continuous improvement.

​

I am passionate about pushing the boundaries of visual storytelling and love the ever-evolving challenges this dynamic field presents. When I’m not immersed in pixels and polygons, you might find me cracking a joke or two, always eager to lighten the mood and build strong, cohesive teams.
