My degree is in Creative Technologies with a first class honour, where I studied the creative applications of computers and beyond, from vfx/compositing, video editing/production, sound design/ engineering, 3D modelling/animation, web design, aesthetic theory/contemporary art practice and so forth. In my spare time I am studying traditional/ entertainment art skills through online learning resources such as New Masters Academy, in order to heighten my art skills , conceptualisation and draftmanship/anatomy.
