Hire Me
After graduating from Secondary School in the early nineties, with a love of art and computer games, I found my dream course at Bournemouth University, and entered the Industry in its digital infancy.

I have a long list of character/creature/film/tv animation work under my belt, and am technically proficient (with some maya python scripting skills) in addition to my main specialty. I am capable of handling challenging shots and delivering a high quality of work on a tight schedule as required.
