Summary

My professional skills cover: Sculpture, Creature design, Concept creation, Drawing, Prop making/ModelMaking, 3D Printing, prosthetics, Animation, photography and film making.

Experience:
I've been in the TV, film and Games animation industry for over 16 years. Since 2012, I've rediscovered my place in the industry and where I want to be with my career. I was born to be a sculptor and creature artist, practicing and studying anatomy and design is my focus.

In 2016 I finished a Masters in FineArt degree, specialising in sculpture and have since completed a 10 month production on 'Into the Badlands Series 3' as a Trainee model maker, but more so, a senior digital sculptor working in the 3D printing department, collaborating on designing and making props for the TV show. Throughout production I have worked on more than150 props. Around 40% of those props being hero props.
