Summary
Im a lead environment and hard-surface artist with over 11 years of experience in the Industry. I have worked on everything from small-scale TV advertisements and AAA game titles up to Oscar and Bafta visual effects titles for film. Top tiles include Christopher Robin, Avengers Infinity Wars and Transformers Rise of the Beasts, with many more being available to see on my IMDB page. As a hobby, I am a creative photographer which I use to help develop my layout and composition skills to create visuals beyond the brief of the VFX technicalities and take any project I'm working on to the highest level of visual digestion that I can.
As well as the technical and creative aspects of my roles, I have always pushed to develop and grow in-house tools as well as bringing over my wealth of knowledge to new studios. With a heavy focus on training junior artists to help the team grow as a whole, and taking part in outreach to learning establishments to prepare the next generation of artists to join the industry.
Through years of hard work and perseverance, I have made my way into this industry from the small VFX-devoid city I come from and want to make sure there is no talent and ambition left behind in potential artists and what better way to do that than help a company grow from within
My ambition has been and still is to find a long-term studio to stay with for as long as possible, the game of jumping around studios for financial gain is of no interest to me. I am in this for the long run and am looking for a studio that would like to grow along side me.
