Instructor

I started as a film student in 2008, but soon discovered CG graphics to be my true medium of choice. Since then, I’ve worked as a VFX freelancer, directed cinematics for an AAA game, and created my own short films. Sharing what I’ve learned along the way is a passion that continues to inspire me—and pushes me to keep learning even more.
