I studied at the North Wales School of Art & Design producing traditionally animated short films and in-game assets, graduating with First Class Honours in Animation, Game Art and Special Effects. I have produced commercial work for clients such as Marvel Comics, MEGA64, WeLoveFine, Razer, Siemens, Channel 4, Walmart, Playisim and the Betty Boop & Popeye brands. More recently, I have launched an indie clothing line featuring my original artwork and currently manage a community of 30k followers.

I have a wide knowledge of industry standard production software and can produce animation, illustrations, graphic art and motion graphics to a high standard. Video and audio production have been creative outlets for me for many years having a National Diploma in Media Production and I'm adaptive and versatile in producing and rendering content. During my education I worked part-time for a production company producing documentary content.

I have a strong understanding of Adobe Premiere, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Flash, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Audition, Adobe Animate, Toon Boom, Pro Avid, Sony Vegas, Audacity, Articulate Storyline, Dragon Frame, Coral Painter, Paint tool Sai and the Microsoft Office Suite. I have a good knowledge of Maya, Blender, Sketchup and Unreal Engine.
