Available to hire
A passionate 3D artist and creative director based in Newmarket, Canada. With over a decade of experience in both freelance and contract roles, I’ve specialized in creating family-friendly animated films and high-quality 3D models and animations. I bring my artistic vision to life by managing projects from conception through to final production, always striving to meet high standards and tight deadlines.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family and kids, exploring outdoor adventure sports like hiking, biking, canoeing, and kayaking. I’m also deeply involved in arts education, teaching various age groups and participating in exhibitions and workshops. My creative hobbies include drawing, painting, sculpting, film making, storyboarding, and animation, and I enjoy attending animation events and collaborating with teams to keep pushing creative boundaries.
