I hope that one day I can work for a big VFX house and be a part of the team that brings dreams to reality.

I remember being fascinated by films and VFX for the longest time, but it wasn't until my highschool art teacher recommended me a Weta digital artbook that I realized I wanted to work in film and VFX. I was familiar with Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong and Weta's other works but I had no Idea how big a role VFX played in these films and That Weta were a New Zealand company, but ever since I have been fast tracking my learning so that one day I can be apart of The magic.
