Description

My name is Linda, and I am a 3D Animator and VFX Compositor, based in London. I have worked on multiple feature films, series, commercials, and cinematics. I believe in hard work, open communication, and now and again, a good laugh with the team. I truly enjoy collaborating with others.

In terms of technical expertise, I am proficient in Maya, 3DS Max, and Blender’s animation pipelines. My skill set is that of a generalist, with a particular focus on fur (still learning), lighting, rendering in Maya, and compositing in After Effects. I have experience compositing both live-action and CG elements, and these are areas I am deeply passionate about and committed to refining further. I am more than willing to learn any software or take on tasks outside my primary focus, as I believe these experiences will add to my versatility.
