Senior Lighting Artist @Motive

Summary

I started as a lighting artist for an animated film back in 2010. I’ve also done some shading, texturing, and compositing work for tv shows and movies. In 2018, I got the opportunity to work in the video game industry and have been loving it ever since.
As a huge TMNT fan, I had to work on the movie! I got lucky enough to be Lead Lighting on that amazing project and I will forever remember that moment!
I'm now working at Motive (EA) and hope to stay there for a long time (:

May The Light Be With you.
