Welcome to my online portfolio. Below you will find information on my most recent role as
Design / Edit Assistant at the The Mill, one of the most successful post production houses in the world for tv, film and advertising.

Additionally, you'll find recent works created by myself individually, collaborated on at University, or that I worked on whilst employed at Slipmode, a motion graphics studio in west London.

I am very proficient in learning and using creative software packages for print, moving image, and 3d modelling / animation, which I have been practicing in from a young age.

I graduated June 2006 with BA (Hons) Graphic Design - Central Saint Martin's, University of the Arts.

Experience in the following fields:
graphic design, pitching, researching, editing, photography, 3d modeling, texturing, animating, compositing, environmental level design, filming, drawing, digital painting, idea development.

Quicktime is required to view videos.







responsibilities : my duties whilst working in this position were varied and challenging. my main role was to support the producers and directors in anyway they required, but particularly in creating high quality bespoke pitch documents for potential clients, as well as graphically redesigning a large number of credential documents for the marketing department, and designing portfolios for mill tv & film.

i was encouraged to put forward creative solutions on any task, and invited to boardroom meetings to develop script and pitch ideas for potential commercials, particularly when advertising video games due to my keen interest and knowledge of the subject.

over time i became entrusted with more demanding tasks such as creating the the mill's production bible which included the formatting of the book, written contributions, illustrations and research. i was also utilized for location scouting and for solely organizing and carrying out casting sessions for a high profile automobile commercial.

i gained a great deal of production and design experience during my time in this high pressure environment which i am certain will serve me well in the future.

description : a 3d animated channel ident for music television.

creation : my task was to conceptualise a channel ident that would appeal to mtv's target audience of 16-25 year old males. i thought about the changes in music throughout my lifetime and felt that the transitions in formats and the multiple ways we listen to music would be more of a universal subject than working on an idea about specific genres of music.

i solely modeled, textured and animated all objects in 3d studio max, and then rendered each model seperately. each model was then composited into various scenes using final cut pro. the final mtv logo was animated with traditional frame by frame painting methods.







description : personal 3d work in level design for natural selection.

creation : i am passionate about communicating with players to aid and encourage them in navigating and feeling immersed in virtual environments. i like to come up with original ideas and experiment with game engines to see what i can achieve and how far they can be pushed.

in 2002 i became a resident mapper at gamespy's planet half-life network due to my level design contributions to the online community.

previous level design programs i have worked with during the last twelve years are : build (duke nukem 3d), worldcraft / valve hammer (quake 1 & 2, half-life 1 & 2), outlawed (outlaws).

i am also contantly collecting newspaper and magazine cuttings of images or articles that inspire me to create. all these assets are catalogued into image reference folders so my work is often a reflection of the world's current political and cultural climate.

images are created using pencil, pen and paper, or digitally with a wacom intuos 3.










description : multiple interviews for various events which will feature on special ten dvd magazine.

creation : all interviews were captured and cut in final cut pro. additional footage had to be converted so all assets were the same widescreen format. all assets were then edited together through several stages of assembly. various clips were colour graded for continuity and vocal tracks were equalized and mastered to remove ambient fuzz.
