I am a Flame/Nuke compositor with 22 years’ experience shaping visuals for feature films, commercials, TV shows, and music videos. My work has spanned studios in Tokyo, London, Los Angeles, and Osaka, and I have led VFX shots on shoots as well as in post-production. I enjoy solving complex technical challenges and delivering polished results that support storytelling across formats and genres. I own a Flame system since 2018 and enjoy collaborating with matte painters, CG artists, and cross-border teams to deliver high-quality shots on schedule. I’m passionate about continuous learning and sharing knowledge with teams to streamline workflows and maintain creative momentum.
