About

I started my professional career 20 years ago as a 3D modeler and concept artist in the games industry. I went on to teach 3D and 2D, visual communication and art theory at two of Australia’s leading universities. I pivoted to Industrial Designer latet and worked in Defence as a Technical Illustrator for 5 years. I’m now returning to traditional illustrating and concept art.
