Born in Sydney, Australia in 1981. Always interested in visual arts. I started painting digitally when I was around 15. Graduated Woolooware High School 1999.

In 2000 I enrolled at the Computer Graphics College for a Diploma course in Animation. I completed the course in 2002 with a High Distinction (95%+) and went on to tutor students while getting ready to find a job. I entered my work in the CGC end of year student competition and won several categories including Best Overall.

Shortly after I was hired by Ambience Entertainment where I became a Junior 3D artist. I learnt alot from the amazing artists there at the time and moved on to have larger roles. I left Ambience in late 2003 to pursue some of my own work. From 2004-2007 I worked at various Animation houses in Sydney, taking time off between jobs to work on my short film. At the moment my short film is on hold, while I pursue my dream of living & working in Japan for a year or two, while I'm still young!

I'm primarily a 3D animator/artist. I was originally trained in 3D Studio Max and used it in production for several years. I then taught myself Maya and have been using it ever since. I also use Photoshop, Digital Fusion and After Effects very regularly.

In 2003 I started taking classes to speak Japanese at a Language School called Berlitz. In 2006 I took the Japanese Proficiency test and passed level 3. I'm continuing to learn more, and hope to pass higher levels in the future.

I've developed a love for photography in the last few years. I'm still very much an amateur but I really enjoy it. I find that I can use what I've learnt in animation to improve my photography, and what I learn in photography improves my animation.

If you have any questions about my work or for any enquiries about employment please feel free to email me. I'm currently doing small jobs in Sydney and saving money to move to Japan, hopefully in the near future.
