Animation and Visual Effects
Selected film and animation productions I have contributed to throughout my career.
Over the course of my career I have worked on a range of international feature films and visual effects projects, some of which are featured above.
I began my career as an animator for Massive Black in California in the video game industry early 2000s in San Francisco’s video game industry. My first projects were animating characters and creatures on “Hellgate: London” and “Gun” for Activision. These experiences taught me the importance of having a proper foundation and understanding of movement, physicality and performance.
For nearly a decade, I worked for the Oscar-winning filmmaker Phil Tippett at Tippett Studio in Berkeley, in the Animation Department, where we brought to life the squirrel and the dragon in the Disney film Enchanted (2008). In Cloverfield (2009), we animated the monster, Clover and parasites that devastated New York, and in the Twilight saga, I was part of the Tippett Supervising team responsible for the wolfpack.

In 2013 in Wellington, New Zealand, I joined Weta Digital, Peter Jackson's post-production studio, keyframeing and developing sequences for The Hobbit Triology, Planet of the Apes, and The Jungle Book, which won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 2017.
As a character animator in the visual effects industry, I've been fortunate of collaborating with incredible artists and filmmakers. My time at Tippett Studio had a deep impact on me. Working alongside the Tippett crew was an unforgettable journey. While my primary role there focused on digital character and creature performance, I was also fortunate to work on productions like MAD GOD (2021), a project that allowed me to explore and learn the world of stop motion and physical filmmaking.
