With 10 years of experience in the digital arena and a strong reputation within the animation industry, my portfolio includes multimedia and video creations as well as projects realized in collaboration with companies such as Sony

My artistic work feeds on my work as a graphic designer often to the extent of becoming inseparable
Supported by an extensive technical expertise, I pride myself for moving forwards hand to hand with the technological and creative advances
For example, I am one of a handful of London-based creatives working in HD video
