As a VFX onset supervisor, I specialise in orchestrating the seamless integration of visual effects on film sets. With a passion for precision and a keen eye for detail, I work diligently to ensure that every frame captures the magic of the director's vision. I excel at maintaining simplicity and practicality in the complex world of VFX, streamlining processes and delivering exceptional results.
When I’m not on set, you might find me appreciating a craft beer, grooving to the rhythm of hip-hop, or enjoying a delightful snack with my kids. I am passionate about creating remarkable and memorable designs that elevate the film’s visual storytelling.
