I’m Gavin! I am an artist with a computer science degree, which is quite fun because I will 3D model a drum kit by writing a script (with an obscene amount of trigonometry) or make a blackhole by coloring a sphere with a shader (using more trigonometry).
I specialize as a Technical Director particularly with a focus on rendering, shading, and lighting in VFX and Animation. But I like to touch on everything in my personal projects - 3D Modeling, Character Anim, Rigging, Camera Track, FX, Compositing, even Illustration and Concept Art at times. I think working as a TD is quite lucky because you can learn about how all these artists work and build them amazing tools to advance storytelling.

I am actively looking for new opportunities as a TD in VFX/ Animation or as a TA in games - especially in Rendering, Lighting, LookDev, and Pipeline departments.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out! Whether you’re a student looking to learn more about the industry, or as a recruiter hiring - I’m happy to chat about my work and the industry.
