I have always been an imaginative artist, cartoonist and illustrator with a daft/dark sense of humour and style.

Since college I have been a hard working designer of concepts, graphics and moving images.

I have a great passion for music, films and computer games and this has clearly affected the direction of my work.

Now I am an ambitious writer/director of short films and animations who is completely involved in every stage of production.

I work well with others and am always open to ideas and solutions.

I am very familiar with and confident using the programs Adobe Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere. I use these in conjunction with Cool Edit Pro, Toonboom and Macromedia Dreamweaver.

I have experience with the editing programs Avid, Flame and Hal also.

I am able to use Macs although I am more confident with PCs.

I also completed a two week course on experimental video using Final Cut Pro in preparation for Ravensbourne.

I am always willing to learn new software.

While at Ravensbourne, I supported myself working at a busy pub, cinema and off-license.

During April 04, I was runner in a production facility is Soho called M2TV.

Since then I have built an interactive virtual pub website and an online portfolio for myself.

I am currently writing a book, constructing an educational DVD and planning a forty five minute music video project. When I’m not working I am usually learning the violin or swinging poi.
