About

I am a CGI Art Director and Senior 3D Generalist with 10+ years of full-cycle CGI production, motion design, event visuals, advertising, and digital experiences. I combine strong visual taste with hands-on 3D production skills, helping brands and creative teams turn ideas into premium visuals—from concept and key visuals to CGI animation, rendering, and final delivery.

I have led large creative teams, built production pipelines, optimized workflows and delivered high-impact visual projects under demanding schedules. I lead 3D asset production, art direction, visual research, storyboards, animation, lighting, rendering, composition, and pipeline planning. I collaborate with clients and production teams across advertising, corporate film, product presentations, and events to translate business goals into strong visual solutions.
