Asset creation
Asset creation is the foundation of immersive digital experiences. From intricate models to lifelike textures, I meticulously craft each element for optimal visual fidelity and performance. My approach blends artistry with technical precision, ensuring assets that are both stunning and seamlessly integrated.
SImulations
Simulations add depth and realism to digital worlds. Whether capturing the flow of water or the dance of flames, I harness computational power to create interactions that feel both authentic and imaginative. My expertise lies in blending the technical with the artistic, producing simulations that astonish and engage.
Video Editing
Video editing is my foundation and I've honed my skills over 15 years, working on diverse projects that have shaped me as an editor. I believe in the power of storytelling and how subtle touches can make a world of difference, creating a seamless and captivating experience that speaks directly to the hearts of viewers.
VFX/Compositing
Melding the boundaries between real-world captures and digital artistry, VFX and compositing are pivotal in today's visual landscape. These disciplines require a harmonious blend of technical expertise and artistic vision. From layering diverse visual elements to adjusting light and shadow nuances, I approach each project with precision and passion. My aim is to deliver visuals that are not only technically impeccable but also emotionally resonant, ensuring that every frame tells a captivating story and leaves a lasting impression.
Motion graphics
Motion graphics are where design meets movement, turning concepts into compelling visuals. I specialize in crafting animations that capture attention and convey messages clearly. With a sharp focus on design and timing, each piece I create ensures both visual appeal and effective communication.

“Anyone would be lucky to work with tim. I give him my highest recommendation.”
At McCann, we were in search for a kick-ass animator and Tim came highly recommended to us. And rightly so. Tim is by far one of the most talented animators I've had the pleasure of working with. He is highly conceptual, has an incredible design aesthetic, and an amazing work ethic. He swims through pressure, and has one of the most optimistic attitudes I've encountered in this industry. Anyone would be lucky to work with Tim - I give him my highest recommendation.
