About Me

For the past 24 years, I’ve worked in the Visual Effects industry. I spent the majority of my career at Industrial Light and Magic where I was trained as a generalist in John Knoll’s Rebel Unit. Since then, I’ve been lucky enough to work at quite a few VFX studios, animation studios, and I even spent 5 years at Electronic Arts.

​

My VFX company, Mind and Machine VFX, has been quite busy in past few years with Raised by Wolves being our most recent project. I was VFX Supervisor and VFX Producer at MMVFX for our work on Raised by Wolves. 

 

In addition to being a VFX Supervisor in the recent years for film and tv, I've been Executive Producer and Head of VFX at OTOY, Inc. At OTOY, I traveled the globe helping connect VFX artists and studios to new rendering technology. I’m a huge fan of embracing new technology in production, especially technology that helps artists be artists. 

 

I've worked as a senior lighter at DreamWorks Animation, CG Generalist at Industrial Light & Magic, Lighting Director at Electronic Arts, Lighter/Compositor at Sony Imageworks, to name a few. One of my career highlights was being fully responsible for designing the booster rockets and making R2-D2 fly in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones.
