Introduction

I am currently working at WETA Digital as a Lead Texture/Look Development Artist. Using Maya, PRman and The Foundry's texture painting software Mari, I am able to take complex geo and create highly realistic film level textures.

In 2009 through to 2012 I have worked on films such as Avatar, TinTin, Gulliver Travels, Xmen First Class & Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Thanks for reading.
