My interest in creating images began with still photography. From film to digital, studio to location, it was a challenge to capture the world inside a frame. Editing and stitching images together came naturally as a way to push beyond what is possible in the real world, much like visual effects. While my core skillset is compositing, throughout various projects I've tried to slowly work outside my comfort zone. Along the way I've explored modeling, lighting and rendering as well as more technical aspects of visual effects such as gizmo creation and automating tasks through Python. Regardless of what I'm working on, I believe planning, communication as well as strict quality control are key aspects of making a project successful and ultimately enjoyable. When not working on images I enjoy cycling, music and motorsport.
