About

I’m a Vancouver-based FX and 3D artist focused on building strong simulation and production workflows, from Houdini effects like Pyro, RBD, and particles to USD-based Solaris pipelines. I enjoy turning complex technical setups into reliable, film-ready results while keeping the process organized and production-minded.

Alongside FX, I also work through look development and compositing—using tools like VEX, VOPs, and Nuke—to refine shots through roto, multilayer workflows, and polished final comp. Whether it’s environment and camera work in Unreal Engine or compositing for commercials and short films, I like collaborating closely and delivering work that supports the final story on screen.
