My path into visual effects started young — training in 3D at Objectif 3D in Montpellier at just 16. That early passion for cinema and technology carried me through five years in Paris, then Glasgow, Montréal, and for the past ten years, Toronto.

Today, as a CG Supervisor with 13+ years in VFX, I specialize in Houdini/USD pipeline architecture and cross-department workflow design — building systems that let artists focus on craft instead of technical friction. I lead teams through demanding production schedules while keeping one principle at the center: great visual effects should serve the story.

Mentoring

I keep a few slots each month for students and artists earlier in their career — portfolio reviews, lighting and lookdev questions, or working out the step from artist to lead. Fridays and weekends are usually easiest.

Notes from the floor

Occasional lighting breakdowns and look development sessions, filmed between shows.
