Hi, I'm Valentina Lonardo, a digital compositor and VFX editor with a strong background in cinema and media engineering. I work across cleanup, rotoscoping, and upscaling, and I enjoy building efficient pipelines for visual effects workflows. I thrive in collaborative teams, delivering clean, photoreal results under tight deadlines and with a proactive, detail‑driven mindset. Based in London, I bring cross-disciplinary experience from film, VR, and software development, with fluency in English and Italian and a growing toolkit in Python, 3D design, and tools like Nuke, Fusion, and DaVinci Resolve. I love solving creative problems, communicating clearly with teammates, and continuously learning new techniques to elevate visual storytelling.
