Summary

I am a Lighting Artist currently living in Australia with 7 years of industry experience. My primary expertise is in shot lighting, but I am also experienced in compositing, surfacing, and a bit of python.

I am a hard worker and very passionate about the 3D industry, which always inspires me to go the extra mile.
