About
3D Animation and Visual Effects Creative
I am a freelance 3D artist and visual effects creative based in the UK specializing in creating breathtaking 3D animations and cutting-edge visual effects, with a portfolio that showcases a unique blend of artistic flair and technical proficiency. Whether it’s for film, television, or digital media, my skills in 3d (Maya) combined with boundless creativity will help bring your visionary ideas to life.
Having been in the industry for many years I consider myself one of the best well rounded freelance 3d and visual fx artists to work with.
My experience allows me to quickly a problem solve, keeping a cool head and I’m able to work late which is often necessary when working globally.
As a direct result of producing top tier 3d content I am also proud to be an Autodesk-sponsored YouTube content creator where I offer an array of educational tutorials and resources for aspiring 3D artists.

Clients and Brands
Throughout my extensive career I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide array of clients, crafting stunning CGI, VFX, and animations. My portfolio features collaborations with major entities like BBC, Google, and Virgin Atlantic, as well as creative projects for notable brands such as Channel 4, Sapporo Beer, and Honda. My work has also resonated in the music industry, with bands like Machine Head and Tenside. This journey has allowed me to contribute to diverse projects for both high-profile and smaller corporate brands, showcasing my versatility and passion for visual storytelling. I have worked with many more brands and clients, it’s just to much to list here.
YouTube
I started my YouTube channel to share my knowledge, for free and for the fun of it but mostly to help others if at all possible. That led me on journey and opened new doors, but the message remains the same, I want to help, I want to see others improve and overcome problems, I want to find new ways of accomplishing new fx and I want to share that. My channel is more than just tutorials; it’s a community where learners and enthusiasts come together. I share insights, answer queries, and showcase innovative ways to use Maya and Bifrost in various projects. Subscribe and be part of a growing community passionate about 3D and visual effects.
Outside of all of this though I’m a real person, a dad, a husband and someone you can count on. A film buff, big Star Wars fan and of course I have a love for my craft. I’m also addicted to gaming but currently in remission as I will get zero done if I go down that route.

Achievements
To be sponsored by and often working with the very people that created ‘Autodesk Maya’ I can honestly say that is my greatest professional achievement to date. Being asked to create marketing content, being asked to create courses and talks for the likes of FMX and Autodesk University is amazing to me and something I never even dreamed possible. I didn’t set out to do this, I just tried to be the best I could and share my knowledge and that was noticed.
I’m also part of the Bifrost for Maya BETA testing program. Of course seeing your work on TV never gets old !
