About
Removing the barriers between an idea and what ships.
I am the Technical Director of a digital agency where we create web applications, implement automations and AI agents and offer digital animation services including specialist 3D Visualisation within the Engineering and Manufacturing industries.
I develop unique non-standard character rigs; bringing life to animals, robots, vehicles, cartoon characters and even buildings. I develop dedicated internal scripts for studios to improve their workflows, develop show-specifc tools and ultimately remove any barriers between the modelling, animation or rendering processes – integrating systems together.
I teach my methods, advice and experience to several higher education institutes in the UK and internationally, as well as working with external professional partners.
