Summary

VFX Layout Supervisor | Video Editing | UX/UI |

With an academic background in 3d Computer Animation and a passion for creative thinking, I have worked for several years in studios and as a freelancer. My focus is on designing action sequences for feature films, leading teams, and designing tools and pipelines, to support VFX workflows.

Over the past 11 years, I have expanded my role as a layout artist by help develop company workflows alongside Pipeline TDs to improve data sharing between departments and shot assembly. I'm currently pursuing further training in UX/UI & AI Development to deepen my profile in digital product design.

My mission is to use design and communication to initiate positive change, for efficient and effective productivity in Studios, whilst crafting suspenseful and action packed sequences for our clients.
