An award winning Design Director and Motion Designer based in Sydney, Australia. Graduated from the College of Fine Arts(Art & Design, UNSW), Australia, with a Bachelor of Design in 2004 and started my career as an intern graphic designer at EmeryVincent Design before becoming the Junior Designer at EmeryFrost(Frost*Collective),
Finding a strong interest in motion graphics I completed a Masters of Animation at the University of Technoloy, Sydney in 2007 and worked at SBS(Special Broadcast Service). After leaving SBS I worked at Foxtel, the largest cable television network in Australia, working on Arena, Foxtel On demand and Fox8. While at these channels I was fortunate to have worked on each of the rebrands.

Work includes the launch of the BT sport channel creating various digital outdoor displays graphics all over central London, online video content for Absolut vodka, Now TV and Virgin Media. I spent a year working as the Senior Motion designer for Leo Burnett, London, responsible for all motion graphics related projects.
Relocated back to Sydney, Australia in 2015 freelancing at DD8, Engine, Studio Hackett, Spinifex Group, Imagination, Girraphic, Mister, Mighty Nice, Sequence Group, Heckler, Studio Pancho, Never Sit Still, Future Deluxe and Buck.
