With 8 years specialising in Broadcast Design in London and Sydney, I am well experienced at all levels of production. Whether creating graphics, animation, Illustration or directing others, I thrive working as part of a team. I have been commissioned by major broadcasters to deliver complete series packages, and pride myself in my client skills and professional practice.

I won a PROMAX GOLD for title desing in 2008 while working as a senior designer at Foxtel. The series was 'Thanks For Listening' on The History Channel.

I have an MA in Digital Film, and a BA in Illustration. I've also completed advance Adobe courses in After Effects and Photoshop, and am well versed in Adobe's main production software.
