ABOUT
I am a visual content creator. At the risk of sounding a bit pompous, it's the best way to describe what I do. I create visual content in various formats and media, ranging from photography to motion graphics.
I have spent the last 13 years making a career as a motion graphics artist. I have worked on Promax and Emmy Award winning projects for broadcast and corporate clients such as ESPN, ABC (USA), NBC, CBS, MLB Network, HBO Sports, CTV, CBC, Much, TVA, Sky (NZ), Rialto Channel (NZ), Comedy Central (NZ), Discovery Channel (ASIA), TV3 (NZ), Igloo, World Rugby, Maori Television, Imagination Television (NZ), Promax (AU/NZ), DDB, MB Century, Cohesity, Paymark, Advantage, Pure Storage as well as the opening titles for the world feed of the 2015 Rugby World Cup and 2015/2016 Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series.
I am also an avid, self-taught photographer. I have been taking photos as a creative outlet outside of my career for almost 15 years. What started out as a hobby has given me a skill set that has crossed over into my motion graphics career. Be it capturing elements to be used in a composite to photographing a series of idents for Comedy Central New Zealand. I am a fan of candid photos and working with natural light but I am also comfortable working in a studio setup. I enjoy the challenge of trying to capture a photo that best embodies the story of the subject.
If you think my skills can be of some service to you or have any questions or comments about what you see on my site feel free to send me a message via the Contact page. You can also follow me on Instagram, Vimeo, YouTube, Flickr, and Twitter.
