After growing up in a small forestry town in the South Waikato, I managed to escape the abundance of fresh air, lack of rush hour, playing cow pat frisbee with my friends and wagging school to go skiing with my family. I did this by somehow managing to sweet talk my way into A.U.T all the way up there in the big smoke, all so I could get a little piece of paper that read Bachelor of Graphic Design.
Amongst managing to squeeze out some half decent work between hang-overs at Uni, some OK-ish illustration skills and a work ethic that must’ve impressed the late, great, Brent Chambers - founder of one of New Zealand's foremost animation studios, Flux Animation Ltd, something must’ve clicked. Because for the last 20 years, I pretty much became a part of the furniture at that very same animation studio! Not to mention looking after some Head of Design stuff and Art Director-ish things as well.
Working in the advertising /animation industry for two decades now has sharpened my OK-ish skills in illustration, character design, graphic design and storyboarding. With a wide range of styles kleptoed over the years, I can cater to any illustration and design requests that come my way.
All of this so that I can keep playing cow pat frisbee and wagging school to go skiing with my family!
