What is your proudest achievement while working at Imageworks?
Everything I touched on KINGSMAN: THE GOLDEN CIRCLE. I did a bit of modeling and environments. I helped develop a new proprietary software. The final lookdev and lighting of a full CG Poppyland was quite satisfying.

What inspired you to become involved in making movies?
When I was young, I was always drawing. I was not the best at execution, but I was coming up with very creative concepts. Later, I would replicate pictures pixel by pixel using the very first paint applications that came out. I spent a couple of years doing “aerosol art.” Then I did home movies with deck to deck VHS editing. As soon as I discovered 3D animation software, I knew that it would be the ultimate tool to create anything I could imagine.
