Bio: Toronto-based 3D Asset/Visualization Artist with two decades of experience in film, television, animation and architecture specializing in environment/sets. I’ve contributed to blockbuster titles and shows such as Harry Potter (three titles), Tron Legacy, Resident Evil, Saw, The Expanse, The Boys, Penny Dreadful, The Handmaid’s Tale, Barbie, Thomas the Tank Engine, Paw Patrol, Lego Marvel Super Heroes and many more.

With expertise in software including Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, SpeedTree, 3DS Max, AutoCAD, SoftPlan (BIM) and industry-standard render engines (Arnold, V-Ray, Mental Ray, Redshift), I am known for creating photorealistic and cartoon environments, vehicles, foliage and sets that seamlessly integrate into both live-action and children’s animated productions. My architectural background and certifications in drafting and visualization further enhance my ability to bring scale, logic and believability to projects.

Respected by peers and supervisors alike and recognized for my professionalism, attention to detail and collaborative spirit. I have consistently been praised for my problem-solving skills, critical eye and dedication to producing high-quality content. In addition to my VFX and animation achievements, I’ve also worked extensively as a Senior Architectural Draftsperson (BCIN Small Bldgs) applying my design and technical skills across residential and commercial projects.
