I help aspiring and professional animators master Maya and Blender—body mechanics, performance, and creature animation—using my K(C)AOS method and the IdentiRig toolset. With 30 years’ experience in the animation industry, I’ve worked in 2D/3D character animation, creature supervision, storyboarding, rigging, and asset supervision for major VFX and feature studios (MPC, Axis, and more). As a supervisor and lead animator, I focus on structuring teams, guiding creative performance, and delivering compelling, believable movement—with special expertise in creature and character work. I created the K(C)AOS system to unite technical clarity and artistic intent. This method isn’t reserved only for teaching individuals— in several studios, I’ve trained full teams using K(C)AOS, directly applying it to real production workflows.
