Bio
SIGGRAPH 2025
Joanna joined Wētā FX in 2009 to work on Avatar as a Lighting TD. Since then, Joanna has worked on some of Weta’s key projects including The Hobbit trilogy, where she became a Lighting Lead, managing the lighting design for a number of sequences. She was also a Lighting Artist for The Adventures of Tintin and Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Joanna has recently wrapped on Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 3 and before that, on Taika Waititi’s Thor: Love and Thunder. As CG Supervisor on Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3, Joanna was responsible for delivering 3D content for the film, collaborating with supervisors and colleagues across the VFX pipeline to ensure the work is delivered to the highest quality. For Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Joanna worked on a proprietary caching pipeline that enabled the rendering of a huge amount of geo in extreme detail. Prior to joining Wētā FX, Joanna worked at Framestore in the UK and Animal Logic in Australia.
