My path from photography to film and VFX has been driven by an insatiable desire to create and learn.
I started with photography, obsessing over every single still frame, which quickly evolved into a passion for video and filmmaking. Before long, I was booking a ticket to Canada, diving headfirst into Toronto’s film industry.
I worked on all kinds of projects, taking on every role I could—camera trainee, grip assistant, and even spending a day on the ice as a fancy producer's assistant for a big Adidas NHL commercial.
The turning point came when I landed a job with Stephen Triveri, a prop shop owner and executive producer in Toronto, where I got my first taste of the Art Department. I was hooked—there was no turning back, and I knew right then that the Art Dept was where I wanted to be.
Now, almost four years later, based in Auckland and fully immersed in Art Dept and VFX/CGI work, I’m forever grateful for how rewarding these years have been as I look to the future with gratitude and excitement.
