Currently, the Cinematics 2D Art Director for a new game from Good Gate Media. I am responsible for the visual development and creation of 2D elements, animation, and VFX that feature throughout the cinematics of a live-action FMV game to be distributed by Wales Interactive.

As a freelancer, I can write, direct, illustrate, and animate for games, motion design, and scripted entertainment. Production companies have trusted me to work remote on projects for brands like the BBC and Burberry. I love working as part of a team and contributing in a specific role to large projects. I've also delivered entire short projects working solo. I have on-set experience in scripted television production and bring that discipline to my remote working setup.

As a screenwriter, I am developing original adult animation. Currently pitching my spec pilot and art book for Further Adventures to production companies.
