Since the turn of the century, I have been involved in the Art and Entertainment industry. I have gained extensive knowledge across Art and Animation pipelines, covering all aspects from Pre-production through to Post.

I have a strong ability to generate new and creative ideas, a history of loyalty and long-term commitment to companies, and I am versatile and quick to learn new software.

Over the years I have developed into more of a Technical Artist, specialising in problem solving, scoping and workflow, product delivery and building strong relationships with clients.
