The spark of an idea, the craft of the creation, that’s what excites me.

About

Twenty years,
one obsession.

I am a senior motion designer, CGI artist and director. Twenty years, based in Auckland.

The part I love is when someone has an idea and it is rough, or abstract, or hard to explain. I step in and help bring it to life.

Over the years that has meant channel identities, live studio graphics, product campaigns, installations, and visual effects for film and television. Some under my own name. A lot of it inside studios, where the credit sits with the building.

Outside of work, most of my time goes to a partner who is my biggest fan and I am hers, my three wonderful kids, and a fairly serious compulsion for the coast. That is where you will find us most weekends.
