What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow my skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on innovative projects in animation and visual effects.

I am a recent graduate from Media Design School in Auckland, New Zealand, where I earned my degree as a Technical Director. My education has equipped me with hands-on experience in industry-standard tools like Autodesk Maya, and I have developed strong skills in motion graphics, 3D texturing, lighting, rendering, and editing.

During my time at Film Construction, I worked on a 6-month project within a professional production pipeline. This role allowed me to enhance my ability to deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines while effectively managing my time and collaborating with others in a fast-paced studio environment. I take pride in my communication and problem-solving skills, which I strengthened through consistent collaboration across departments.
