With nearly 10 years specialising in Broadcast Design in London and Sydney, I am 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 recieved a PROMAX GOLD for title design in 2008 while working as senior designer at Foxtel Design ('Thanks For Listening' on The History Channel).
I have an MA in Digital Film, and a BA in Illustration.
