About

From a young age, I was captivated by the magic of animated films and the complex artistry behind every frame. This passion drew me into the world of CG, and over the past 19 years I have honed my craft across modeling, simulation, animation, lighting, rendering, and compositing.

Today I am most excited by character effects—cloth, muscle, and hair simulations—where technology and storytelling intersect to bring characters to life in believable ways. I excel in Maya/XGen/Houdini-based pipelines, lead nCloth/nHair setups, manage timelines and teams, and ensure shots are ready for downstream departments through strong organization and clear communication.
