Intro

What I am all about.

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.
