Summary

I am a graduate of Emily Carr University with a Bachelors in Animation. I also attended Lost Boys school of VFX, where I completed the Lighting course. I have experience in Lighting and Compositing for both Animation and VFX, having completed the Technicolour Academy Lighting Program and worked at SONY Pictures Imageworks and Mill Film. I have experience in 3D lighting and compositing, 3D modelling, animation, and texturing, as well as 2D character design and illustration work. Professionally, I have an industry level knowledge of Katana, Maya, and Nuke, with rendering and lookdev experience in both Arnold and Renderman. For Illustration and personal work, I use a combination of Photoshop, Corel Painter, PaintToolSai, and Manga Studio depending on my needs for a project. I am currently open to full time, industry contract, and freelance work. If you are an industry recruiter, please contact me privately through LinkedIn as my VFX and Animation work is under NDA.
