About

I am a passionate and dedicated 3D Artist, Professor, and Founder of Act 4 Animation Studio based in Mississauga, ON. Known for my consistent adherence to deadlines and meticulous attention to detail, I have successfully managed and prioritized projects for major productions, including the Oscar and VES Award-winning Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Cowboy Bebop, Prehistoric Planet: Season 2, Nightmare Alley, Vikings: Valhalla, and other notable titles. My expertise spans modeling, texturing, look development, layout, lighting composition, photogrammetry, and scan processing. I pride myself on being a rapid learner, expert multitasker, strong team collaborator, and experienced mentor.

Currently, I am full-time engaged in production at Act 4 Animation Studio on an original animated short film titled Unrest. I have maintained strong client relationships through clear communication and reliable high-standard deliverables. My past experience includes key roles in high-profile productions like Godzilla vs. Kong and Avatar: The Last Airbender during my time with Scanline VFX, as well as leadership in photogrammetry asset creation and mentoring junior artists at Mr. X / MPC. I bring entrepreneurial drive, strategic thinking, and marketing insight to the animation and media production sectors.
