About
FX Artist specializing in Houdini, with 4–5 years of experience in visual effects production across feature films, advertising and music videos. My work focuses on procedural workflows and simulation, including fire, smoke, destruction, particles, water and other dynamic effects. I have worked with studios including DNEG, The Mill, MPC, Digital District and Mac Guff, contributing to projects ranging from large-scale productions to more artistic and stylized briefs. I enjoy solving shot-specific challenges, developing efficient workflows and collaborating closely with other departments to deliver high-quality results. Alongside production, I teach Houdini and share my knowledge through training and tutorials. I am currently based near Paris and available for new opportunities.
