I have always been interested in art from an early age. While attending college I sharpened my skills in photography, life drawing, color theory, and animation. I began my career in VFX as an intern doing traditional animation, quickly moving to 3D character animation before settling into Compositing. While employed at companies such as Disney Feature Animation, Cinesite Hollywood, Sony Pictures Imageworks, Warner Bros, and Method Studios, I have been motivated to adapt and excel with each experience I have been involved in. I have experience in leading more than 30 visual effects projects, including film, television, and commercials. As a supervisor, I focused on directing and delivering quality workmanship on each VFX project I work on. My experience in community building has helped with mentorship, communication, and leadership. My varied work has allowed me to absorb a broad range of experience across the spectrum of visual effects.
Lead direct, supervisors and artists across multiple sites setting goals and achieving synergy and goals. Creating lanes in clear communication of direction. Major role figure in pipeline development.
Besides setting physical goals, helping to develop mindset and application. Through coaching helping supervisors with their own critical thinking.
Setting communication lanes asking questions of “who it affects”, “what it affects, “how...”, etc... Teaching critical thinking helps to develop more confident capable individuals.
