ABOUT ME
My focus is the creative potential of technology. I have broad digital media and CGI generalist skills, gained from my college BTEC in Interactive Media, my university degree in CGI and VFX, and a range of freelance work since graduating. My freelance work has included creating online adverts for Bloomsbury Professional, website content for Corporate Culture Ltd, a 3D animation to be used in an exhibition “Human Traffic” at Printworks London, video editing and character animations for The Unitarian Church and facial reconstruction for Forensic Facials. I also love creating AI generated art. As a generalist I can bring a wide range of technical and creative skills to projects and I am used to producing work to high standards and to tight deadlines. I have good research and communication skills. I am happy working alone or within teams. I have a strong work ethic and I am always learning and improving.
