It started with a dinosaur.

The moment I saw Jurassic Park as a kid, I was captivated not just by the story, but by the illusion. I needed to know how they brought creatures to life with such realism and power. That curiosity launched me into a lifelong pursuit of visual effects, driven by equal parts creativity and technical obsession.

I’m a Senior CG Generalist with over 20 years of experience creating high-end visual effects for feature films, television, and commercials. From initial concept through final render, I handle modeling, texturing, lighting, lookdev, and shot work across a wide range of production pipelines.

I thrive on versatility jumping between asset builds, FX, environments, characters, and vehicles wherever the creative problem needs solving.

If you’re looking for a reliable, senior-level CG generalist who can plug into your pipeline and deliver from day one—let’s talk.
