With 10 years specialising in motion design within London and Sydney, I offer the highest level of experience and creativity. My strength as an illustrator fuels my unique approach, guaranteeing you dynamic animation and design. Although mostly working from my studio, I have vast experience working within teams, and relish new opportunities for collaboration. Whether completing extensive series packages for the BBC, or one-off web campaigns, I pride myself on my client skills and professional practice.
I've achieved 2 top industry awards (PROMAX / BDA) with 'World Gold' as lead animator on 'Immigration Nation', and 'Aus Gold' as director of 'Thanks For Listening'.
I have an MA in Digital Animation, a BA in Illustration, and teach animation at Camberwell College of Arts.
