THE FULL STORY

Maya was the first software I learned in 2008.

​

2009 began my time at the School of Visual Art in Manhattan for Computer Animation and Visual Effects in pursuit of my Bachelor's of Fine Art degree.

​

Sophomore year was when I started learning Houdini. The same year I began working my first internship and involving myself in as many senior thesis projects as possible.

​

By Junior year after two internships under my belt I had landed my first job for both lighting and FX at an animation studio called Panda Panther in NYC.

​

From that point and after graduation in 2013, I continued to freelance from NYC, to LA, to Hungary and then Canada for companies such as; 

​

Aardman Nathan Love

Framestore

MPC

Psyop

Digital Domain

Digic Pictures

Pixomondo

FuseFX

Method Studios

Blur Studios

DNeg

​

My motivation is to create great work and continue learning.
