Joseph Ibbett

FX & 3D Artist with 3 years experience working with Houdini and 5 years in creative. I've got extensive experience across video, motion graphics and digital marketing alongside 3d. Discovering Houdini has changed everything for me, where I love to tackle new FX challenges either on my own or as part of a team. I also really enjoy meeting and working with new people around the world.
