Biography
I’m a professional 3D artist who specializes in character FX for animation. I’m proficient in several steps of the animation pipeline, but my attention for the past couple of years has focused on grooming, tailoring and hair/cloth simulations.
I’m currently groom supervisor at ICON Creative Studio, where my time is split between working on hair / fur styling for amazing characters and providing notes and feedback for other artists on my team.
My previous job required me to handle both the artistic and technical demands of a CFX supervisory role with the logistical and social requirements of a production manager, and to date I feel most at ease when I have the opportunity to challenge myself in both fields.
