I’m a visual effects compositing specialist with 20+ years working across feature films and TVCs. I started my career on camera as on-screen talent and a motorcycle stunt performer, which sparked my curiosity for what happens behind the camera. I later transitioned into visual content creation, studying Visual Communication and Media Production, then pursuing a Postgraduate in VFX. Over the years I’ve progressed from junior roles to lead and supervisory positions, collaborating with agencies and international studios to deliver end-to-end VFX solutions. My on-set experience informs my on-set supervision, data capture, and production-ready pipelines, while my off-set work focuses on robust compositing, look development, and pipeline efficiency. I’m excited to bring my passion and experience to the next opportunity and contribute to a dynamic team.
