I first realised i wanted to work in the design industry around 2002, the time my daughter was born, which lead me to realise that I wanted to use my lifetime passion for design to create something meaningful.

I have always enjoyed drawing from as young as I can remember, but it wasn't until last year that I realised I could make a career out of it. As I was searching for university courses after finishing secondary school, I found courses in game design and animation. That's when I realised, art can be more than my hobby, but a career I can pursue.

I've always been interested in how games are made, but then when I started learning I realised that I really enjoyed 3D Modelling.

As long as I can remember I have wanted to make games.

I always wanted to work in the movie industry and had for longtime thought about acting. In 2020 the opportunity appeared to do a diploma in animation and visual effects, which I love. Now I'm finishing a bachelor degree with UniSA and Rising Sun Pictures. I need something to challenge me and open my mind to new ideas. Thank you for accepting me on the community!

From the age of 5 I created stop-motion LEGO films for my own enjoyment. When I was 16 I began attempting to learn more complex applications but didn’t know where to start, dropping out of school at 17 to begin studying VFX and Animation.

most my life i wanted to work in this field. I spent a lot of my time learning and just getting by in life, but as depression arise I chose to focus more on my interests. which led me to try and study as I worked through it.

Primary school times

I've been a hobbyist photgrapher for 13 years and have worked regular office and IT jobs. I needed a change, and VFX is something I've always had an interest in as it's a nice mix of creative and technical ability. So I enrolled in a course and I'm on my way.

a long long time ago, possibly in another galaxy far away.

I was making music and began making music videos. This was a turning point for me to focus on the visual side of things.

I love stories so landing an opportunity in an industry whose products literally revolves around stories is the best choice.

about 3 years ago at school when I started a modeling class and realized I have an actual love and skill and the willingness to learn, and it was one of the first times in my life I knew what I wanted to do
