Biography
I finished my 3 year Bachelor degree in 3D Animation and VFX from Media Design School in New Zealand last year and recently moved over to Melbourne Australia. Here i was accepted and just completed a scholarship called The GameChanger Achademy. This was an intense 3 month program designed to emulate studio working environment funded by VicScreen and the Australian Government.

I'm proficient in a wide range of industry-standard software packages, specializing in technical roles with a robust set of diagnostic and problem-solving skills. Known for a meticulous eye for detail and a proactive approach, adept at seamlessly integrating into any part of the pipeline to deliver high-quality work.
