Personal Profile:
I am a creative, hard working and focused individual and work well both independently and in a team. I am competent in all areas of the workshop, from hard edge modelmaking through to spraying, sculpting, moulding and fibreglassing. I have worked enthusiastically on a diverse range of projects, such as architectual, stop-frame animation puppets, museum interactives, and product design. I also have extensive knowledge in digitaI modeling, in both Rhinoceros and 3D Studio Max. I take advantage of every opportunity to further my knowledge, especially in new and exciting processes and materials that I utilise in my work. This has provided me with a diverse skills base and high standards that I apply to all areas of my work and career.
