In My Own Words
I’m a modern day Wizard with 18 years of professional experience in the field of Motion and Graphic Design. I've always been passionate in the creation of meaningful and challenging projects from concept to completion. Outside of the office I'm a woodwork explorer, admirer and rider of waves, skateboard cruiser, snowboard bomber, dance floor destroyer, lover not a fighter. If you feel I would make a good addition to a project or team, please don't hesitate to contact me.
