What I bring to a shot
Lighting & Lookdev
Cinematic lighting and look development in Maya & Arnold, matching CG to plate until it sits.
Compositing
Roto, keying, match-move and integration in Nuke & Silhouette. Clean graphs, seamless finals.
Environments & Real-time
Set building from photogrammetry to Unreal Engine 5: believable worlds you can move a camera through.
Character Animation
Appealing, weighty character animation: staging, timing and motion that reads.
FX, Hair & Fur
Simulation and grooming with Houdini, Xgen & Yeti. R&D background, with more shots landing through 2026.
Pipeline & Render R&D
Python tooling, Data I/O and render optimisation that cut studio render time by 45% on Arnold GPU.
WRITING
Notes & R&D
Process write-ups and experiments, mostly where the technical meets the creative.

ABOUT
Equal parts artist and engineer.
I'm a VFX artist completing my BFA in Animation at SCAD, majoring in Technical Animation. I work across the pipeline: environments, lighting, compositing and animation, and I like the problems that sit between the creative and the technical.
At Motion PhilmCGI I went from tech intern to junior TD, running R&D on Arnold GPU rendering (a 45% render-time cut), building the studio's Data I/O department, and shipping an in-house 3D asset manager. I like making other artists faster.
