About

I’m obsessed with motion design. I love bringing imagery to life using animation, 3D and video as my creative toolset.

I get excited by all kinds of motion design, from traditional hand-drawn animation, right through to feature-film visual-effects. I believe the combination of moving pictures with sound is one of the most powerful ways to trigger an emotional reaction from an audience.

The types of projects I work on include promotional animations, television commercials, animated infographics and corporate videos for a diverse range of clients. Every brief is unique so I approach every project differently.

Please check out my showreel and featured work to the left for a sample of my motion design style.

I'm currently employed full time as the Senior Motion Designer for Interbrand, a multi-award winning studio in Sydney and the Campaign Asia-Pacific Specialist Agency of the Year for 2011. Interbrand works with a variety of brands including Telstra, Alzheimer's Australia and Griffin Theatre to name a few. We do great work and have great studio culture. I'm proud to be part of the team.

I'm also a co-founder and the motion designer for Bestia, a three man collective who make moving images with sound. We've worked on projects for FBi Radio, Cyclic Defrost* Magazine, Shades of Gray, Ribongia, HAHA Industries and AEG. We've also had our work featured at international digital-design events, including Pause Fest and Video Minuto.

I like to balance commercial work with self-initiated projects to challenge myself and keep things fresh. I'm always interested in hearing about any exciting, upcoming projects.

I'd love to hear from you so if you'd like to say hello, please get in touch.

April 2013

Sydney based crew, HAHA Industries, deliver quality, left-of-center music events. They're one of Sydney's longest running nights and their regular events feature both local and international dj's and live-acts. They're about to celebrate their 8th birthday and the infamous Scottish duo, Optimo, will be headlining the party. The HAHA crew asked me to create an animation for this special occasion. Long time friend and colleague, Dave Fernandes, created the storyboard and I brought it to life in animation. Joao Peres got involved with some awesome frame by frame animation on the dancing feet as well. We had great music tracks to work with by Betty Botox and Hunee, then Antonio Roselli worked his magic on the fantastic sound design. The animation celebrates the last 8 years of HAHA parties and you can check out the animation on Vimeo. I even got to feature in the locals credits toward the end as one of their artists, Modifi. Find out more about the event.

Australian Creative magazine featured a few of us from Interbrand about our lives away from work. I was fortunate to get a mention about my music project that has taken me far and wide over the years. Of course these days motion design is what I spend most of my time on but I'm always up for a gig. If you haven't checked out my music project you can get a taste for it in this video. I think it's so important to have more going on in life than work. As much as I adore what I do, I'm always creatively inspired when I get along to an art gallery, check out a museum, play music for a crowd or even work on a creative side project.

B&T magazine were also kind as to do a feature article on us all at Interbrand Sydney. Interbrand is the agency I work for and I'm very proud to be part of this awesome team.
