I am a 3D Generalist with over seven years of experience in cinematic visual storytelling, pre-visualisation, and CG production for global brands, cultural institutions, and entertainment projects. I excel across the full Generalist spectrum, including modelling, texturing, shading and lookdev, lighting, rendering, matte painting and compositing, with strengths in camera choreography, staging and art direction. I’m known for collaborating effectively with directors, VFX supervisors, and production teams to deliver photo-real and stylised content under tight deadlines. I combine artistic sensibility with technical problem-solving, and I have strong knowledge of VFX pipelines and traditional arts foundations. I enjoy translating creative briefs into compelling visuals and working across English, Swedish, and French-speaking contexts.
