I worked on Ahsoka as Computer Graphics Supervisor at Industrial Light & Magic, leading artists and technical leads across a large episodic production. I loved the scale of the challenge: every asset, shot, and sequence had to feel like it belonged to the same extraordinary galaxy.

The series expands the Star Wars universe through practical production, digital environments, creature work, spacecraft, and character animation. Ahsoka Tano is investigating an emerging threat after the fall of the Empire, which gave us a brilliant range of visual problems to solve - from intimate character moments to huge, cinematic worlds.

My focus was making all of that complexity feel effortless on screen. I worked across the assets, techniques, and shot work to keep the visual language coherent from episode to episode, while still giving every world, character, and action beat its own identity.
