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 — cut studio render time by 45% on Arnold GPU.
04 — WRITING
Notes & R&D
Process write-ups and experiments — mostly where the technical meets the creative.

05 — 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 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.
