Born in Stoke-on-Trent, England, and now based in New Zealand I trained at The Northern School of Art and Design in the North of England. Here I studied design & crafts in the entertainment industries, focusing on set design. I have a proven background in various creative industries, maintaining a strong foundation in the customary arts, displaying a portfolio across many disciplines.
As well as visual effects I provide services to the themed, entertainment and animation industries such as sculpting, model making, scenic painting, prop making and background painting.
