About

I’m a real-time visual artist based in Costa Rica with a background in film and media arts from York University. My work focuses on editing, VFX, and digital animation, often combining real-time tools like Unreal Engine with post-production workflows in Premiere and After Effects. I’ve created visuals for theatre and concerts, working on large-scale projects that require both technical precision and a strong sense of visual direction.
