I enjoy developing communication strategies: original solutions, brands, and ideas that use graphics to transmit messages in an engaging way. I love working with 3D elements. I love working with others and sharing knowledge- I am eager to learn from those around me and to help my colleagues in turn. I am very organized: I excel at problem-solving, creating pipelines, and meeting deadlines. The world seen through the screen is an open-ended story, told to inspire new ideas and create new realities, and I am passionate about being a part of it.

Due to my growing curiosity for the industry, I have worked in both, hard surface and organic modeling, surfacing, production (design and assets), and previs, which has taught me the workings of a pipeline from start until full delivery.
