i am an australian vfx artist, currently living in san francisco usa. i have lived in some amazing places including japan and england
i graduate the academy of art in the school of animation and visual effects (majoring in composting) in 2010 and then the world is this portly man's oyster.
working as an IT project manager in australia, i got my graduate certificate in IT project management from the university of technology sydney.
i love vfx and i love our industry. i am very lucky to have found people that seem to love it too. working with vfx people, we all seem to have this smile that we are doing something fun that the rest of the world doesnt seem to know even exists.
so yes, i am pretty lucky.
