In 2013, I began my career at The Mill, one of the world’s most prestigious visual effects studios. As a junior artist, I worked alongside some of the most talented and humble people I’ve ever met, contributing to projects that required a level of precision, artistry, and dedication that left a lasting impact on me.
Though I’ve since moved beyond the VFX industry, my time at The Mill shaped me in ways that continue to influence my work today. The art of storytelling through visuals, the discipline of problem-solving under intense creative constraints, and the collaborative spirit of world-class teams—these experiences became the foundation of how I approach design, photography, and product work.

In early 2025, Technicolor closed its doors, marking the end of an era for The Mill and other legendary studios under its umbrella. It’s a heartbreaking loss, but the legacy of The Mill lives on in the work we created and the people who made it extraordinary. This portfolio piece is my way of honoring that time—a testament to the craft, dedication, and camaraderie I was lucky enough to be part of.
