I’m a compositor and illustrator who loves bringing images to life and finding that sweet moment when everything just “clicks” and the composition naturally starts telling the story. I really enjoy working across different styles and types of production, and I’m always excited to learn new techniques or software as I go. The mix of technical problem-solving and creative exploration is honestly one of my favourite parts of the job. I care a lot about the work I’m part of and I tend to get fully involved in the vision of each project, always aiming to help push the final result a little further and enjoy the process while I’m at it.
