MY WORK HISTORY

Creative concepts, production & delivery

My career started in 1994, as a Graphic Reproduction apprentice with Show Ads Sydney.
Studying Design, Typography, Retouching & Colour Reproduction over four years. On completion of my ‘time’ I was placed in a number of agencies as a roaming Mac Operator for the group’s satellite studios.

This lead to becoming a full-time Graphic Designer working in a number of ad agencies around Sydney. In 1998, I took my work to London, where I spent two years with WPP Group, working on a range of global brands.

On my return to Sydney in 2002, online media and the advent of in-store digital screens evolved my work towards Motion Design & Animation in Flash and After Effects. This led to becoming a Motion Designer and Editor working with agencies such as The Works, Leo Burnett, Host, Paragon and McCann to name a few.

In 2010, I began to focus my skills more towards narrative-based storytelling in film & television, so started taking on Art Department roles. I currently work on feature films, television shows and commercials as a Standby Props, Buyer/Dresser and Art Director.

In 2017, I was presented an opportunity in a part-time education role teachingEntertainment Design at UTS Sydney, teaching Creative Concept Pre-Production, Motion Graphics & Editing. The opportunity further led me to evolve my Design and Art Department skills towards becoming a Set Designer for Theatre Productions.

These days I split my workload across creating Concept Art for Crown Casino Melbourne, working on film sets as a Standby Props, and doing Set Design & Construction for several Theatre productions each year.

My spare time is mostly spent working on my animated sitcom concept (illustrating the story-world, characters and developing episode scripts) or practicing karate on my kids.
