Summary

I have an Industrial Design background and have been working as a Concept Artist/ Designer since hired to work on the final season of Beast Wars back in the day.

The majority of my work experience has been as a concept artist/ designer on full CG animated TV series but most recently I have been working more in live action and feature film work.
