About ME
Passionate about 3D since the age of 14,
I started out using Cinema 4D and Element 3D in After Effects. Today, I’m a 3D Generalist Artist, Visual Developer, and Creative Director, trained at ESMA (The Rookies 2024 – 1st place in 3D Animation), where I was mentored by professionals who have worked at Illumination, MPC, Framestore, DNEG, and many other renowned studios.
My education and professional experience have given me the ability to create and direct a film from start to finish, with a meticulous eye on every stage of the pipeline: pre-production, production, and post-production.
I’ve now been doing 3D for over 10 years, including 4 years as a professional.
Today, I also work as a Creative Director on a wide range of projects, where I oversee art direction, visual consistency, and overall storytelling. Fully autonomous, I’m capable of handling an entire project from A to Z — modeling, animation, lighting, compositing, editing, and basic sound design — without relying on any external team.
However, when the scale or ambition of a project demands it, I can also activate my network of skilled professionals to ensure top-tier quality at every step: rigging, FX, original music, voice-over, and more.
