Growing up on a farm gave me a deep understanding and passion for creating digital natural worlds, human-made machinery and architectures. In 2009, while attending media university, I began my first official CG role as a hard surface modeling artist. Over the course of my early career, I transitioned from a modeler to a versatile generalist, capable of tackling more complex and challenging visual development and art direction tasks across a wide range of projects. As a professional bodybuilder, coach, and nature enthusiast, discipline and teamwork play a central role in both my daily routine and work approach. After gaining experience in Games and AAA cinematic, I ultimately ventured into the world of VFX, where I had the chance to manage, create, and shape content for films and TV series nominated for or winning prestigious awards such as the VES, BAFTA, and Oscars. I work closely with CG-VFX supervisors, production and occasionally with client-side representatives.
