About

I am an ambitious CG artist specialising in Lighting and Look Dev in film VFX. I also have a particular love for photography and capturing life's intricate photographic qualities. The desire to always strive for the best visual result possible is what fuels my growth in understanding life's visual intricacies within VFX/photography. I am always ready for a challenge and can overcome anything I put my mind to. I don't settle for second best. Work that some would consider "good enough" is never good enough in my books. I only aim for the best possible result within the given time. My goal is to be a VFX supervisor and I'm making headway.
