Hey! I'm a recent graduate of a VFX course in the UK. Looking for job opportunities and programs where I can boost my skills and join the wonderful sphere of VFX!

Biography

I came into the world of VFX very recently and just graduated from a 15-month long course at UAL. My interest in mathematics and more analytical way of thinking has helped me in better understanding software such as Houdini and I love to fuse both creativity and technical skills when working on my projects. Now I am on the search for mentors, programs, or job opportunities that would help me get into the professional sphere and start working on amazing projects. I'm only at the start of my journey, but am very excited to see what the future will bring and cannot imagine what kind of wonderful and inspiring people I would meet along my way!
