Summary
As a Computer Graphics (CG) Supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic, I lead and mentor teams of asset artists to establish the look and surface qualities for CG characters, creatures, and environments for live-action films and animated features. I have over 15 years of experience in the entertainment industry, with extensive skills in texturing, look development, grooming, and environments, using various software tools such as Katana, Houdini, Mari, Photoshop, Maya, Zbrush, Renderman, Substance, Nuke, and more.
I have contributed to the visual effects of several blockbuster films, such as “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”, “Kong: Skull Island”, “Avengers: Infinity War” and “Avengers: Endgame”, and received multiple honors and nominations for my work. I am also passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise with the next generation of digital artists, having been invited as a guest lecturer at Lasalle College of the Arts and Nanyang Technological University. My passion is to enable the telling of impactful stories by collaborating effectively with directors, producers, supervisors, and artists to deliver the best quality work on time and on budget.
