Originally from the UK, I'm a freelance 3D Designer and Technical Director currently based in Auckland, New Zealand. With two decades of experience in the industry, I began my career in VFX on blockbuster films such as Batman Begins and Harry Potter before transitioning into 3D motion design.
My expertise lies in SideFX Houdini and Redshift, with a focus on look development and lighting, hard surface modelling, VEX programming, and SOP level procedural setups and rigs. I'm also skilled in animation, shot design, and simulation.
Drawing inspiration from the worlds of concept art, product design, and architecture, I enjoy blending interesting shapes and forms with stylized design to create captivating and distinctive work.
If you're interested in collaborating or hiring me for a project, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
