about
the red
thread.
I started out in film and television: production, the art department, VFX and 3D, then playback on Reacher. After Reacher, I chose to dip my toes into the agency world — and stayed five years, building a studio and leading a team. On paper that's a lot of different roles. To me it's always been one thing: a love for how an image gets made, followed through every stage.
01
getting my hands dirty
I learn by doing. Jamming out in a new viewport, rigging lights, building the comp, re-rendering a frame late at night just to see if an idea holds up. Even when I'm leading, I want to know the craft well enough to sit down at any desk in the room.
02
story first
Before I touch a frame, I dig into the story. The script says everything: what each scene needs, what each moment should make someone feel. I break it down until I really understand it, because every frame I make is a decision that has to serve it. Technique is how I get there. Story is why.
03
the whole pipeline
Having worked on set and in post, I think about both at once: what the camera needs today, and what VFX will need next month. Knowing the pipeline end to end is what lets me make good calls fast, and keep a whole team pulling the same way.

That's the red thread: one idea, carried intact from the first sketch to the final pixel. It's what I look for in every project, and what I bring to every team.
