Hi all! My name is Kara, and I'm currently a Lighting TD on The Bad Guys. Two years ago, I graduated college from computer science and visual arts departments, having focused on computer graphics theory and graphic design. Before college, I spent creative time focused on photography and oil paint. During quarantine, I've been learning about color theory and optics.

On this page I've included work most closely linked with elements of cinematography. To see a wider range of portfolio work including technical computer graphics work, visit my general portfolio.
