Profile

I'm a senior compositor (and formally 3D generalist and TD) based in Los Angeles with 15 years professional experience (film, television and other media). I have 6 years professional experience with Nuke and am proficient with Shake and Icy. I also have extensive previous professional experience with Maya as well as many other (now-defunct) 2D and 3D applications. I also have some on-set and in-house supervisory experience, as well as experience in both feature-film development and production.
