I've always had passion for film, media and the entertainment industry.

I'm originally from Chicago born into a working class family, on the southwest side. While in school I was able to have many unique experiences. I worked at Walt Disney World College Program and traveled to Japan for a summer. After receiving my degree in Interactive Digital Media, I decided to further my knowledge at Vancouver Film School. I was able to represent my school in the Siggraph 2008 Exhibition in LA. I also met so many people from the big Animation and VFX Studios ex. Dreamworks, Rhythm and Hues and LucasArts . From than on, I decided to always push my creative potential as an artist/designer.

I'm heavily inspired by Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Ahayo Miyazaki and other creative directors who tell very imaginative stories. As a computer arts geek, I humble myself towards learning new techniques and shaping my design eye. I enjoy eclectic music, painting, sculpture and nature.

Five Goals for my experience at Fig:

1. Learn more about production and optimize my post editing time.

2. Work as a compositor in the post production industry.

3. Push my work to its full creative potential.

4. Develop a good relationship with clients.

5. Work my way toward my own post-production boutique for film and TV.
