Portfolio
Selected work across CGI, product visualization, motion, post-production and immersive experiences.
Bio
I work between CGI, 3D rendering, motion and visual communication, with a practical focus on images that are clear, polished and usable.
I like the process as much as the final image: testing, adjusting and building visuals step by step.
Most of my work is made for products, campaigns, packaging and digital experiences, often combining 3D, rendering, compositing and post-production.
