About Me

BELIEVE IT OR NOT ...

My lifelong fascination with visual effects ignited when I discovered my favorite giant monsters were often performers in detailed costumes stomping through meticulously crafted miniature cities. This behind-the-scenes magic sparked a deep passion not only for filmmaking and special effects but also for the hands-on artistry of miniature hobbies and costume design. It fascinated me how teams could build entire worlds from scratch.

Driven by this early passion, I pursued a B.F.A. in Visual Effects with a Compositing focus at the Savannah College of Art and Design. Post-graduation, I gained invaluable experience on big-budget commercials under lead compositors at The Mill (New York), followed by freelance work as a Junior Compositor at Framestore NY on popular Amazon Prime and HBO shows.

After 2020, I transitioned into a Compositor role at FuseFX via their internship program, contributing to numerous high-profile movies and TV shows, including my first feature film credit on Barbie (2023).

Beyond my professional VFX work, I'm an active podcaster exploring the the Sci-fi films that inspired me to be an artist on my show Reel Jumpers. I’m also a growing graphic design artist continually developing my visual style, and I remain dedicated to my love for miniatures and costume creation. I am currently actively seeking new opportunities within the VFX industry to leverage my skills, creativity, and collaborative spirit on exciting new projects.!
