I am an Emmy Award winning 3D Lighting Artist with over 15 years of industry experience. My main focus is lighting, compositing, texturing, and shader development. Over the years I have had the pleasure of working on many high-profile projects including Disney feature films, main title sequences for Netflix & HBO, game cinematics, and Super Bowl commercials to name just a few. I have a passion for details, composition, color, lighting, and learning new ways to elevate every project I work on.
