I'm a seasoned CG professional with over fifteen years of expertise spanning 3D animation, VFX, and game development. Initially drawn to modeling, I discovered a passion for problem-solving and system design, leading me to specialize in Rigging—an artful blend of creativity and technical finesse. While my heart lies in rigging, I've recently delved into the captivating realm of characterFX, exploring the intricacies of fur and cloth dynamics.

My journey in pursuit of cinematic excellence has taken me to Japan and Canada, where I'm currently based in vibrant Vancouver, BC. Beyond the screen, I find solace in crafting intricate paper creations, and sketching. On sun-kissed days, I relish cycling adventures, while on others, I seek the thrill of bouldering.
