I'm a creative motion designer and director with twenty years of animation and VFX experience. I make fascinating motion graphics and visual effects across a broad spectrum of visual media.
I founded and ran my own award winning company for nine years where I learnt about management and supervision of CGI projects. I've worked on many big brands, well known TV shows and cutting edge holographic events.
Always involved with projects in a hands on fashion I work with all the studio tools available and I am equally capable working with 2d, 3d and compositing softwares.
I am a senior designer with AfterEffects, 3d Maya Generalist and Nuke compositor. I am also proficient in artworking and storyboarding with Photoshop and Illustrator.
Over the last few years I have been working in 2d and 3d for an innovative digital out of home advertising specialist 3Rock Global.
