About
I’m a skilled animation director, with many years involvement in commercial animation. My broad, cross-cultural experience and large body of varied work means I have a unique perspective on producing character-driven campaigns. This positions me very strongly as a Layout TD and previsualisation artist. I have a broad and relevant skill set and a strong cinematic aesthetic.
From 1991 to 2001, I owned and operated two highly innovative and successful 3D animation companies in New Zealand. I then worked as a freelance 3D generalist in London returning to Wellington, New Zealand, in 2004, to work for Weta. In 2006, I moved to Auckland, New Zealand to direct TVCs for the internationally renowned production house – Cirkus, on the long running global campaign for Unilever’s Comfort Cloth World through Ogilvy & Mather, Singapore and London.
In 2008 I moved to New York where I continued to work remotely for Cirkus in my own studio in Manhattan whilst marketing Cirkus work to advertising agencies in the States.
In 2014 I left for the United Kingdom to work as a cinematics previsualisation artist for Traveller’s Tales (aka Tt Games). The company is famous for producing Lego console titles.
Currently I'm working as a Layout TD for film projects at DNEG in Vancouver, Canada. To date I've worked on the following features: Bladerunner 2049, Pacific Rim 2: Uprising, The Meg, Godzilla: King Of Monsters, Deadpool 2, First Man, Togo, Venom, Jungle Cruise, Uncharted, Bullet Train, Haunted Mansion and Dune 2.
In addition, I've worked on the following critically acclaimed TV series: Catch 22, Foundation, Star Trek Discovery S3 and Stranger Things S4.
