About me

To whom it may concern:

I have worked as a professional artist for over ten years. I started as an animator in the classical animation industry, working for Sullivan Bluth Studios, Ireland. From there I was hired by 20th Century Fox as a Director of Special Effects and relocated to Phoenix, Arizona. There were eighty people chosen to set up the studio and our task was to test, hire and train the artists for Fox's first animated feature. The studio was a state of the art facility and we completed our task and released the studios first animated movie, Anastasia. I worked on eight features and many TV and DVD productions, plus game titles for Viacom.

I returned home to Ireland in 2001 and took up a position as creative director for an internet company. We designed web portals and interactive 3d movies for clients, both corporate and private. Since I returned to Ireland I have had the opportunity to demonstrate my skills in illustration, storyboarding, 3d, graphic design and game development for many companies like Waterford Crystal, Diageo, Vodafone etc;.

Beyond all my experience, I have a love and passion for all art and design, and I am sure that you will find my skills an asset to your company.

Best Regards
