About

I've spent my career making characters people remember — NFL players you recognise the moment they turn their head, creatures that carry a whole scene, boards that tell a director exactly how a beat should land.

The work has taken me through EA Sports in Maitland, Gearbox, Reel FX and MOB Entertainment, and across broadcast at Mega TV. I sculpt, texture, light and board — which means I can pick up a character at any point in the pipeline and hand it off finished.

I like small teams, clear art direction, and problems where the technical budget and the performance have to be solved together. If that's your project, let's talk.
