With more than ten years experience in the animation industry, I am currently a Freelance 3D generalist. Working for both smaller and larger studios has demanded not only a thorough knowledge of the technical and artistic elements of the 3D production pipeline but also a flexibility to work independently, as a project manger or as part of a team. A proven track record for producing high quality work in a timely fashion resulted in my being entrusted with managing projects for high profile clients, including the BBC, Marks and Spencer and West Ham United. I have also worked as an asset artist and a lighter on several large scale projects, including “Jurassic World Reborn”, “Star Wars: The Acolyte”, “Heads of State”, “A Quiet Place: Day One”, and “Spirit Untamed.”
