ABOUT ME
My passion for CGi began when i was 16. I started working in 3ds max, and soon after that i did my first job as a freelancer. During years 2010 - 2011 graduated at Drimagine - 3D Animation and VFX Academy. There i switched to Maya and i specialized as a Character Technical Director. Since than I am trying to improve my skills as a TD.
My interest goes equally towards rigging characters and R&D. My goal as a Technical Director is to bring something fresh, new and working to this specialization.

Excellent knowledge of human anatomy.
