About me

During my early illustrative career, I gained the knowledge & skills of working with various design teams in a prestigious direct marketing agency, based in the north of England.

I was responsible for the running of an illustration department, working with major clients, and of course, meeting tight deadlines.

I then branched out as a freelancer, acquiring household name clients, working in Leeds and then in Vancouver. When I returned from Canada, I continued freelancing as well as teaching illustration at Leeds School of Art (Jacob Kramer).

Whilst still freelancing, I became interested in computer animation and studied Maya at Trazos, Madrid. At present, I work as a freelance 3d CG artist based in Madrid.
