I’m a visual designer from Wellington, New Zealand, with a Diploma in New Media from Media Design School, where I graduated in 1999. After graduation, I explored print design and taught myself 3D and compositing techniques. In the early - 2000s, I co-founded Hinge Design with friends, working on various projects that helped me develop my creative style in areas like design, CD/LP design, book covers, and tvc’s and music videos.
Since 2009, I’ve focused on VFX, starting with a major project for the film Avatar at Weta FX as a Layout Technical Director. Now, in 2024, I have 15 years of experience in film, including roles at Rising Sun Pictures, MPC in Vancouver and Montreal, and a decade at Wētā FX. I’ve worked in different areas of the VFX pipeline, including Layout, Look Development, and Lighting.
Currently I’m freelance visual artist.
