l am a visual effects artist, photographer and filmmaker.

I started learning vfx to enhance my story telling as a filmmaker with an emphasis on photo-realism.

I specialize in effects simulations using Houdini. I also have experience in 3D modeling and animation in both Houdini and Maya. I have a comprehensive workflow from conceptualization of a shot, previs, model and texturing, camera-tracking, lighting, creating VFX, and compositing into a final product.

I don’t look at projects with “how” to incorporate vfx, I look at them with the question of “why“. When it is figured out why vfx are needed, then I can create something with intent that starts with the story in mind and ultimately yields a product beyond reality.
