PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
I have loved drawing for as long as I can remember, from scribbling on walls to doodling characters in
my note books when I was at school. It was this passion that drove me to pursue a career as a 3D
artist and motion graphic designer.
I love everything about 3D art and all aspects of motion design and modelling. I have a formal
qualification - Bachelor of Interactive Entertainment, with an Animation major.
Whilst still a recent graduate, my work experience to date has provided me with a valuable
experience in working with scoping client requirements, managing delivery to timeframes and
ensuring quality management.
I am currently available for full-time or part-time employment as well as contract and freelance work.
