Telling stories is at the heart of everything I've done for the past 24 years in this industry. It was a surprise to me, considering my background in programming and engineering since my school days. I spent the first years of my career doing visual effects for commercials and later directing them. Now I work mainly on films, but no matter where my focus is, I always come back to how important the story is. Sometimes it is a dramatic turn of events, emotional ending, a small and insignificant detail, the light or inspiring epic music. Еach of these tells its own story. That's why I think it's good to try to tell something good with a little bit of fire...

In an industry which is both artistic and technical, skillset is vital, but equally vital are problem solving, being flexible yet firm, and making people feel appreciated - as this is first and foremost a team effort.

To inspire is my vocation.

I am the offspring of a mathematician with an aesthetic sense and an artist with an analytical mind. I tackled math problems during breaks and indulged in drawing for entertainment. These two profound realms of knowledge have always intertwined in my life. I sketched with light during my school years, then with a mouse, and now with AI.

I've been working in the CG field for over 20 years, and every day is an opportunity for continuous learning. To breathe life into my creations is my true dream.
