Summary
About
I'm a London-based Senior Flame Artist & VFX Supervisor with over 20 years of experience turning good footage into great work across commercials, episodic series, branded content, music videos, and the occasional on-set VFX rescue mission.
Whether it's beauty work, clean-ups, last-minute conforms, or full-blown compositing, I bring a mix of technical fluency, creative instincts, and calm-under-pressure mindset that makes things happen fast and polished.
I’ve collaborated with brands like Amazon Prime, BBC, Netflix, Disney+, Mini, Coca-Cola, McLaren, and more, either as part of the in-house team or flying solo via my limited company, MomentVFX.
I'm not the loudest in the room, but I might just be the one quietly fixing the trickiest shot before the deadline hits.
Currently open to freelance or in-house roles especially ones that welcome collaborative minds, creative messes, and clean outputs.
