Creative COW Contributing Editor, COW Master Series Trainer
I am a digital designer with over 15 years of extensive experience in Animation, Video and Visual Effects as well as a graphic designer in one of the two largest daily newspapers and in the Apple headquarters in Israel. A 2D animator and a compositing artist. For the past 10 years have been a respectful demanded lecturer in honorable Art and Design Colleges such as the Hebrew University, parallel to running the Animation Department in ARAN Electronics. I am also a member of the Adobe EMEA instructor's team and an Adobe certified expert.
In addition to my vast technical skills, creativity, improvisation ability, patience and great interaction skills, you should know that music is my passion and books, good cinema and Sci-fi are a "must" in my life. I'm the kind of guy who's on the verge between Coolism and Geekism ;-)
