ABOUT ME

In 2005 I graduated from Ravensbourne College with a BA (Hons) in Product and furniture design, using 3D visualisation techniques to help aid in the design process. From here my interest grew further in the visualization field, I sought work experience at Hayes Davidson 2006 where I quickly became a middleweight artist. It was here I developed my skill set working on projects like Doon St and HL23 developments. 2 Years on I decided to leave Hayes Davidson to work exclusively on a body of work geared towards the entertainment industry (where my passion lies). Thank you for visiting my site, I hope you enjoy my work.
