About me
With nearly two decades of experience across various creative disciplines, I bring a unique blend of hands-on expertise and strategic leadership. My journey began with a passion for understanding the intricacies of each creative field, rooted in the belief that a global perspective is essential for crafting impactful projects. Driven by this curiosity and desire to explore, I kicked off my career as a motion designer, 3D artist, editor, camera operator/DOP, music composer and sound designer. This diverse background has given me a deep understanding of the creative process, enabling me to guide teams effectively and deliver tangible results. In the past decade, I have transitioned into art and creative direction, using my practical experience to provide strategic guidance and bring creative visions to life. My responsibilities include preparing treatments and mood boards, writing scripts, directing, managing and nurturing teams, selecting candidates and talent, and presenting pitches. While CGI has become my primary focus in recent years due to circumstances and the pandemic, I also have extensive experience with set and live-action projects, allowing me to adapt to diverse project requirements. Additionally, I am actively involved in ongoing music and art projects. My short films and music have been showcased at various international film festivals and museums, including those in the UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, and Portugal. Thank you for your time! Rick
