About me

Curious, fun loving right brain meets, practical, process-driven, left brain. The left side has a strong background in visual effects, film and commercials. The right side, a long history with paint brushes, scale models and animation curves. My desk equal part battle field and playground.

Some would say obsessive, I prefer boundlessly inquisitive and a poor sleeper.

Primarily a VFX Supervisor/Director, Compositor and Motion Artist, I'm a multi-platform creative working in Nuke, Fusion, Resolve, After Effects and emerging technologies.

From high end visual effects to unique digital experiences and with 20 years of professional experience, I have worked in and with almost every aspect of the creative pipeline and produced commercials, brand communications, animations, motion graphics and visual effects for Audi, Lexus, Nissan, The OneClub, Cell C, MTN, ABSA, Hansa, Castle Lager, Flying Fish, DStv, Anglo American, The African Union, BP and KFC.

Whilst I love being a hands-on artist I'm at my best leading creative production teams.
