About me

After leaving Middlesex University I was employed on a one year non renewable contract for West Sussex County Council as a Graphic Designer, advising local council funded organizations on producing brochures, posters and advertising material. Once my contract I returned to college and studied Computer Aided Engineering to learn about computers in general, different areas of design and the software used in an engineering pipeline. I then relocated to Kingston upon Thames where I became Studio Manager at Up Design in 1992. Eager to continue my education, skills and knowledge of an ever expanding industry I returned to study Interactive Multimedia in 1997 and began using 3D software and began as a Page Layout Artist at News International ( NewsUK. )

Transferring to NewsUK in Scotland I returned to study 3D/Motion Graphics at Glasgow School of Art studying all areas of CGI production from initial creation and storyboards, through modelling, rigging, lighting, texturing, rendering, sound and managing production schedules.

I continue to expand my knowledge and skills by studying further in Motion Graphics, Animation and VFX at Escape Studios and at CreatedAcademy in London.
