About Me

I’m a Senior Motion Designer & VFX Artist with over 15 years experience in broadcast, film and web based work, and also experience in social media advertising, website design, video production and e-commerce. My project experience ranges from TVC, local and international feature films, AAA game cinematics and trailers, short film, online advertising, broadcast & design projects & real-time interactive media.

I’ve worked in solo/small teams where I’ve taken jobs from concept to completion. In large productions I’ve worked as part of a team and learnt from the best in the industry to manage complex production processes efficiently, whilst producing the best visuals.

I have all-round 3D & 2D design and compositing skills and a specialist at fluid simulation effects (ie. dust, fire, water and Smoke simulations), particle, cloth, hair and physics-based simulations.

My skills also extend various other aspects of motion design & VFX production such as video editing, pipeline & tool scripting, Camera tracking, Compositing and more. 

I’m based in Melbourne, Australia however I work for clients all over the country and abroad.
