  • About

    My earliest memories include drawing, painting, and sculpting. Making incredible images is a lifelong passion. I am an innovative 3D Modeler with an excellent commercial and artistic success record. Personal strengths include: working both independently and as part of an artistic team, and the ability to address multiple ongoing projects with full attention to detail and quality.

    My professional history includes work in graphic design, photography, gallery artist, mural artist, and later evolving these skills into a career in Computer Graphics. Notable VFX credits include film, game, and commercial projects. Distinguished clients include Disney, DreamWorks, Sony, Touchstone, Reelfx, Walmart, LG. Currently I'm busy shaping the future of Microsoft one project at a time.
