02 / ABOUT

Building the
impossible.

I am an FX Artist and Technical Artist combining creativity with technical problem-solving to bring ideas to life through procedural visual effects and innovative workflows.

I design production-ready fire, smoke, fluids, destruction, particles and volumetric effects in Houdini. I also develop reusable tools and automate workflows with VEX and Python, taking projects through lighting, rendering and compositing.
