Toronto, CanadaMember since Nov 2026

I’m an on-set VFX supervisor based in Toronto, with more than 30 years in visual effects and around 50 show credits. I started as a 3D artist, moved into compositing as a Flame and Smoke artist, and have been supervising on set since 2007. Along the way I’ve also worked as a VFX coordinator and producer, so I understand the schedule and budget side as well as the creative one. My credits include Star Trek: Discovery, Strange New Worlds and Starfleet Academy, Twisted Metal, Motherland: Fort Salem, 12 Monkeys, Shadowhunters and Ghosts, and I’m currently VFX supervisor on Heated Rivalry Season 2.

Before VFX I trained and worked as an architect, with a background in lighting design, and that still shapes how I read space, light and camera on set. I’ve worked across Canada, the US and Brazil, including years as a Discreet Logic demo artist and instructor in Latin America. I recently earned CG Pro certifications in AI filmmaking and agentic coding, and I build pipelines in ComfyUI and Figma Weave. I run Rage VFX Inc., I’m a member of IATSE Local 667 and a companion member of the CSC, and I work in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
