Born in Hamburg, my family moved to West Africa when I was 4. With a background in Fine Arts I was drawn to visual effects in England in 1987 but then moved into the production side of films, working in various departments including set dressing and props.

In 1991, I discovered computer graphics and after a course in Softimage 3D in Montreal, I was hooked. Since then, I’ve followed a convoluted CG thread which has taken me from Germany to the UK, Lebanon, the United States and Australia. On this journey, I’ve been involved in a varied range of projects across feature films, documentaries, commercials, corporate, stock footage, explainers and educational content.

Most of my work these days is for documentary filmmakers and educational platforms. Recent work includes 200+ animation and VFX shots for the HBO documentary Stevie Van Zandt: Disciple — premiered at Tribeca and Grammy-nominated for Best Music Film. Long-term collaborations include Tilapia Film, Rutgers University, Marginal Revolution University and PBS Nova Labs.

I work as a sole operator, which means you deal directly with me throughout — no account managers, no hand-offs. Over the years I’ve built a comprehensive network of illustrators, animators, VFX artists and writers spread across multiple countries and time zones, who come onboard when the job calls for flavours not available in my digital spice drawer.

Based in Melbourne. Working with US and European clients daily.

I’ve been a Mac boy since 1995. Hergé and Chris Ware make me drool, music greases the wheels, reading is the relish and my family keeps me sane. I love what I do and provided it leaves time for family and reading I’ll probably be mid-click when I pop my clogs.
