Available to hire
I’m a CG & VFX Lighting professional specialized in look development, lighting, and optimization across episodic animation and live-action projects. I enjoy collaborating with teams to translate art direction into performant, production-ready images while maintaining consistent visual quality.
My background spans Houdini, compositing, rendering, and scene/pipeline optimization. From character-driven animation to large-scale TV work, I focus on efficient workflows, strong shot-level lighting, and clear technical communication.
