I’m a 3D artist passionate about modelling, texturing, and building environments that support strong visual storytelling. I discovered Blender at 14, which sparked a decade of learning and developing my technical craft. I went on to complete a Bachelor of Art and Design in 3D Animation and VFX at Media Design School, where I refined my skills in modelling, surfacing, lighting, and compositing. After graduating, I joined 808 Ltd in Wellington as a compositor and 3D generalist, contributing to production shots for feature film and TV, including Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires (2025) and Spartacus: House of Ashur (2025). As a dual US–NZ citizen, I’m excited to contribute to world-class productions in New Zealand, the United States, or abroad, with a focus on creating cinematic, production-ready environments and assets.
