I’m a freelance 3D Generalist specialising in lighting and rendering, with over 18 years of experience across film, television, and commercial projects. My career began in 2005 as a Graphics Technician, designing DVD menus before stepping into my first 3D junior role as an XSI Generalist — an introduction to the world of CG that set the foundation for everything I’ve done since.

Over the years, I’ve worked on a wide range of productions, from children’s TV and documentaries to feature films and television series. As a generalist, I’ve contributed to nearly every stage of the CG pipeline — from asset creation and environment modelling to FX-based work such as water simulations and explosions.

While I enjoy the variety that comes with being a generalist, my true passion lies in lighting — crafting images that capture mood, atmosphere, and visual storytelling. I take pride in my ability to use light to enhance narrative, depth and create visually compelling worlds.
