About
I’m a Senior R igging Artist and team lead specializing in character setup and advanced muscle simulation. I create production-ready, animator-friendly rigs with anatomically accurate deformation, using Autodesk Maya and Ziva VFX to deliver smooth, natural motion for characters in both movies and games.
I also focus on building and maintaining rigging pipelines and automation tools to streamline production. Alongside hands-on rig building, I develop Python/MEL utilities for tasks like rig builds, skin transfer, and QC checks, and I mentor other riggers to keep assets on schedule while maintaining consistent, high-quality results.
