There's one time I just realised when everytime I get hypnotized by something that I see with my eyes, I constanly know I'm not just an audience, there's part of me that kin of knowing the beauty behind it. Being different has been the thing that I've been struggling for so long until i looked back to all those years, every master piece that my eyes have seen. Every single of them was so different and unique. Be different to standout and to inspire and to get inspired.

I was always a really big fan of videogames so when I grew up I knew that what I wanted was entretainment, looking more deep into it I found out that there was a million of different positions and departments so from all of them the one that always draw my eye and make me blink in emotion was the FX department.

I first knew that I needed to work in Visual Effects when I was ten years old and I watched Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban for the first time. I saw those giant spiders in the scene in the woods and I was both disgusted and awed at the same time, while simultaneously being sucked into the film and transported to a new world. Since then I've wanted to give others that same feeling of losing oneself in a new world.

When I got into graphics and kept learning ahead until I found Houdini
