Biography

With extensive hands-on experience spanning diverse creative disciplines - including 3D design, web development, photography, video editing, and production assistant roles - I made the bold decision to relocate to London to establish myself as a Visual Compositor.

My journey began as a Roto/Prep Artist, taking on foundational tasks that allowed me to steadily expand my expertise and grow within the industry.

I’ve since contributed to prestigious projects such as Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, the Netflix thriller Who is Erin Carter?, and Amazon’s acclaimed series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.

Amid industry strikes, I utilized the downtime to sharpen my skills, completing the Upskilling Nuke and Introduction to Blender bootcamps.

Currently, I’m exploring cutting-edge AI workflows with ComfyUI and Nuke, and I just finished Alexander Richter's Python for DCC (Nuke) course to deepen my Technical Artist capabilities.
