Hi I'm Lou.
Profile
I'm a virtual art director with a background in architecture, specialising in virtual production and immersive design tools. I have a wealth of experience working in both the virtual and traditional art departments.
A swiss army knife of design - I offer an extensive skill set allowing me to become a valuable asset to your production. Whether you need someone to design sets or operate unreal on your virtual production shoot, I bring creativity, technical expertise, and a passion for bringing visions to life with unparalleled dedication and precision.
I am invested in developing virtual tools and workflows that enhance collaboration among filmmakers. Due to this I have unique expertise in visualisation and virtual scouting tools that can elevate any production.
If you have any questions about my work or are interested in collaborating please reach out! I'd be happy to talk about working together or anything 3D related.
