I thrive on challenges, especially in the demanding field of animation and FX. This niche requires a perfect blend of artistry and scientific precision. Visualizing a compelling image is just the beginning; the real task is translating that vision into code and geometry.
The evolution of computer technology has democratized high-end animation, making it accessible to small studios. Gone are the days when big animation projects were exclusive to large studios with hefty budgets. Today, small teams of dedicated artists can tackle large-scale projects with remarkable success.
I am proud to be part of this movement. My client list, ranging from small local businesses to major names like ABC, Pfizer, and ESPN, demonstrates our adaptability and expertise. Our daily work includes industrials, logos, and full cinematic FX.
Over the past few years, we've expanded into game development, creating animated multifunction kiosks for trade shows, which have been deployed in various venues. We're also venturing into the exciting realms of AR and VR development, exploring new directions with limitless possibilities.
