The person
behind the pixels.
Client-side VFX supervision,
from script to final delivery.
My work has taken me across continents, with shoots and editorial supervision delivered in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and Africa. I am a proud member of the Visual Effects Society and Producers Guild of America.
"Safeguarding both the visual effects budget and the director's vision."
As a client-side VFX producing supervisor, I safeguard both the visual effects budget and the director's vision. I've contributed to feature films, commercials, and series from early preproduction through on-set supervision to final delivery, giving me a perspective on the full arc of filmmaking. My work spans VFX breakdown and budgeting, concept design, shot design and tests, end-to-end production management, virtual production, global vendor collaboration, and navigating complex rebate systems.
My background in Industrial Design and CAD/CAM brought me to Hollywood in the nascent era of digital visual effects, as the industry was transitioning from optical effects. Over three decades, I travelled the traditional journeyman path, starting as a junior animator and steadily climbing the ranks. My formative years were shaped by the mentorship of two trailblazing visual effects supervisors: John Van Vliet and Laurel Klick, both from Industrial Light & Magic.
I bring tested expertise across the visual effects spectrum, covering budgeting, preproduction, design, production planning, on-set supervision, and post-production delivery. As a Head of Department, I oversee the entire VFX process with the project's best interests at the forefront.
