An image of an extraordinarily handsome and capable man, whose face inspires feelings of confidence and reliability. Daunish, standing on the streets of Brooklyn.

I'm a CG Generalist with over 10 years of experience across animation, television, marketing, and games; often straddling the line between Generalist and TD. I've led artist teams, built pipelines from the ground up, and shipped work under the kind of deadlines that force you to get resourceful fast.

What sets me apart is range. I move fluidly between artistic and technical work, from sculpting a stylized character to writing the Python or VEX that gets an entire department unstuck. I'm as comfortable art-directing a look as I am reverse-engineering why a pipeline is breaking, and I genuinely love that combination. Give me a new tool, a weird technical constraint, or an ambitious creative brief, and I'll find a way to make it work.

Recently that's meant building custom Houdini solvers and procedural tools, integrating AI into production workflows, and exploring Unreal Engine's real-time pipeline; because staying sharp in this industry means staying curious about where it's headed next.

If you need someone who can jump between disciplines, solve problems nobody's solved yet, and still care about the craft at 2am on a deadline, that's where I fit into the team.
