Summary

Teaching 3D Animation and VFX has become one of the most rewarding parts of my life. I love helping people connect the dots, whether its understanding storytelling, fixing a render or getting a simulation to behave in the way it was imagined.
I have a background working with people and thats allowed me to approach teaching with a blend of empathy and technical problem solving.
