As a child, I loved experimenting with film, game programming, model building, writing, drawing, photo manipulation, and 3D work. After school, I started my professional career as a web developer and designer before transitioning to motion design. While initially drawn to motion design, I discovered my true passion lay more in the technical side of creating digital imagery. As tools evolved, I moved into 3D animation and visual effects full-time, working on commercials, billboards and animations for businesses. Usually as supervisor, but I still liked being hands-on as an artist and sometimes as director. My curiosity about new software led to a deeper understanding of their interactions, eventually driving me to become more serious about software development. After learning C++ and prototyping my own programming system, what began as an experiment has become my primary tool for creating interactive content. Today, I combine my artistic vision with technical expertise to develop custom solutions and interactive experiences.
