About

With over 20 years of professional experience, I have built a solid foundation in visual arts and cinematography, working across VFX, game development studios, and film projects. I enjoy both the creative and technical sides of production, constantly exploring new tools and technologies. I’m currently learning French and exploring AI tools like ComfyUI to stay ahead of the curve.

I am proactive and quick to learn, comfortable working in teams or solo, and adept at problem-solving. I’ve led small groups to ensure collaboration and project success, and I excel at translating client needs and feedback into polished, effective visuals across lighting, compositing, and post-production.
