Available to hire
I am a 3D visual effects artist with 14 years of experience in 3D & VFX. I have worked on more than 35 projects in film and advertisements as a look-development and lighting artist, primarily using Maya, Houdini, Clarisse, and Unreal Engine. I also have experience of VFX shoots as a shoot supervisor. I am currently looking for a full-time position in look-development and/or lighting in the film, video game, or other media industry.
I am always eager to collaborate with creative teams and apply my lighting and look-development skills to visually compelling projects in film, video games, or other media.
