EDUCATION

1993-1996, Massey University

Bachelor of Technology Degree, Majoring in Product Development.

In short, this degree was aimed at equipping the graduate with the skills
needed to perform ongoing product and market development. This combined a blend
of studies (design, engineering, management, electronics, finance, packaging
design, IT, marketing).

This blend of disciplines produced a graduate
with a solid appreciation of what a product range needs in order to achieve
commercial success, and how to satisfy those needs.

INTERESTS

My
interests include snow-boarding, four wheel driving, and design. Also I have
recently been experimenting with more spatial art forms, such as sculpture and
3D modeling.

I am a keen
artist, having exhibited at Gallery-O in the Christchurch Arts Centre,
(paintings and stone sculptures), and more recently exhibited in a gallery in
New Plymouth.

I have taught
myself packages including Maya, and Zbrush - powerful modeling programs, and
have been using Painter 9 and Photoshop CS2 for concept art and Matte painting.

I am regularly creating Oil paintings. This year I will be a
participant in national art show, held in Wellington,
New Zealand
