About me

I have recently graduated with the Mike Figgis Award for Innovation and a 1st class honours degree studying Media Production/Animation at Northumbria University at Newcastle upon Tyne.

Throughout my three years of study at university I have created several documentaries, animations, short films and numerous promotional material to accompany this. I have illustrated many storyboards for productions, also engaging in technical and theoretical issues concerning all aspects of pre and post-production. I have confidently managed positions of director, cinematographer, art director, producer and set-designer.

Over the past ten years Ive worked as a freelance artist, undertaking interior design, murals and other commissioned works. I have worked with many publications and magazines. I have also wrote, illustrated and marketed my own publication, which I exhibited at Newcastle's Arts Centre. The publication was a huge success and sold around London, Edinburgh and Holland gaining keen interest with the local press.

I also won a competition to design and paint a poster to promote the European Cinema Conference, which was commissioned by Northumbria University. The poster was printed throughout every country in Europe.

The development in my education from Graphic Design, Art and Design and most recently Media Production has given my invaluable knowledge and great insight into the fundamental issues concerning visual representation.

Thankyou for you time and consideration.
