Meet the team
Hi, I'm Nick
Co-founder & President
I graduated from Concordia University with a degree in animation, and I've spent many years in VFX working in the assets and pipeline departments. Along the way I picked up a broad set of skills that led me into supervision roles, and eventually to running my own company.
I'm passionate about CGI and its power to bring a vision to life. With my technical background, I've built pipeline optimization tools at several studios. Whatever visual project you have in mind, I'm confident we can bring it to life.
I'm a proud Montrealer and a graduate of NAD. My main expertise is camera tracking, and I've also gained a lot of experience in animation, modeling and every part of asset creation. I've worked on several Hollywood films over more than eight years in the VFX industry.
I love wearing multiple hats across business, production and creative work. Advertising and cinema are my true passions, and I love collaborating with talented artists from around the world.
