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.

In my current role I am responsible for bringing a wide variety of creatures and characters to life, usually within the tighter time-frame of a TV production schedule. Shows I have worked on at Zoic include "Once Upon a Time" and "Falling Skies".
The novel challenge of working to such short schedules has recently motivated me to delve into some python scripting, enabling me to create simple tools and workarounds to streamline my workflow.
