What I'm looking for

I'm seeking senior CG supervision or project management roles on cinematic or real-time productions where I can lead teams, improve pipelines, and deliver high-quality environments in collaborative, innovation-driven studios.

I am a CG Supervisor and project manager with over 12 years of experience creating high-quality environments, assets, materials, shaders, and lighting for cinematic and real-time projects. I founded and run a small studio, have worked with studios like Axis Animation, Blur Studio and Digic Pictures, and led teams delivering high-impact trailers and demos while improving pipelines and workflows.

As a contract CG Artist I collaborated with NVIDIA and other clients across modeling, lookdev, lighting and compositing, and I’ve supervised production from previs to final render while coordinating multidisciplinary teams and technical art integration to meet tight creative deadlines.
