About me

I believe myself to be quite a generalist when it comes to creative and digital media. My skills and experience include working in both print and web design as well as the moving image; animation, visual effects and motion graphics. When it comes down to it I'm quite a perfectionist and get very absorbed in what I'm doing at the time. Always eager to learn, I'm constantly updating my skills and software knowledge as well as actively learning from others around me when it comes to different workflows and methods. I also find it's as important as sharing and contributing my own knowledge and experience with others. I really like working in an environment where that mindset is encouraged.
