    I work fairly broadly across moving image, specialising in 2D character animation and motion graphics design as well as video editing and post-production. I grew up and worked in New Zealand before Freelancing full time in London and Berlin between 2016 and 2020. I'm now back in my home country and always keen to meet new clients and colaborators! Key skills: Editing: I have expert level knowledge of both the craft of the edit and the technicalities of digital video. I can edit both long-form and short form material, and have experience editing documentary, narrative, corporate and promotional video. I am equally proficient in Final Cut systems and Adobe Premiere Pro and am also familiar with Avid systems. Animation: I am an award-winning animator crafting my own animated short films in a mixed media style. I pride myself of good storytelling as well as highly-principled animation. Motion Graphics: I've had a lot of experience building animated logos, lower third graphics, transitions and more, and can do so with a high level of speed and skill. Visual Effects: I have a high level of experience performing colour keying, rotoscoping, compositing, matchmoving and more. Additional Post Production: I am able to perform sound mixing and editing with programs like Adobe Audition. I can also grade colour with Lumetri and DaVinci Resolve. Filmmaking: I've had experience on set in most crew roles, lighting assistant, camera, art department, script supervisor, assistant director and more. Photography: I am at home behind a digital SLR and have a high degree of skill editing with Photoshop. Writing: I have excellent written English skills and experience writing copy, web articles, and production scripts.

    My transition into the world of Digital Design was sparked by my time of almost 8 years at a creative agency in Auckland. It was an exhilarating adventure that allowed me to explore various problem-solving approaches, providing my clients with a wide range of services, including Digital Display Banner Ads, Animated Videos, 3D Still Renders, and other creative solutions, all while staying true to the core principles of graphic design. Beyond my current ventures, I'm also actively pursuing studies in 3D animation and VFX at Media Design School, opening up new horizons for my skill set. I have a genuine passion for my craft and an unwavering commitment to continual growth and learning, all within the ever-evolving landscape of design. Every day is a chance to refine my skills and broaden my horizons as a professional.
