My background and current practice are rooted in industry experience, initially having a 2D/Concept focus but with a passion for games in their entirety have steadily expanded my skillset to include 3D and Engine related knowledge.

My approach to teaching has been guided by my enthusiasm for the medium and experience as an industry practitioner. Now seated in a place where I can share the knowledge that’s proven useful to me and continue to better my understanding of the practice through those seeing it with fresh eyes.
