Set Design - 3D Modeling - 3D Printing - Model making - prototypes - CNC programming
I have been an active member of I.A.T.S.E. 891 since 2010, contributing my expertise to productions in
both Vancouver and Toronto. My career in the film industry began in 1995 with I.A.T.S.E. 873,
where I developed a strong technical foundation that continues to inform my work today.
I have worked extensively with AutoCAD and Rhinoceros for nearly three decades,
and I specialize in 3D modelling, realistic rendering, and construction drawings.
My technical skill set is complemented by proficiency in Illustrator and Photoshop,
allowing me to translate creative concepts into clear, buildable designs.
My experience also includes CNC programming and 3D printing, developed through hands-on production work and specialized contracts. I am known for my strong work ethic, solid design judgment, and ability to follow direction precisely or lead a team when required. I am committed to continuous professional growth through self-directed study and ongoing skill development.
I bring a natural aptitude for problem-solving and troubleshooting, supported by a keen creative eye. My background includes working with a wide range of materials, including wood, fibreglass, metal, plastics, fabrics, and leather. Always seeking new challenges, I am eager to explore innovative methods and contribute my skills to ambitious and forward-thinking projects.
