I have 27 years industry experience, and, as an artist, have worked on over 16 AAA titles for both Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Microsoft Game Studios. Highlights include being part of the WipEout, MotorStorm, Formula 1, Forza and Guerrilla games Horizon franchises, gaining much experience working with a number of consoles (PS1, PS2, PSP, PS3, PSVita, PS4, Ps5, Ps5 VR and Xbox One).
During my career, I have worked most disciplines modeling Vehicles, Hero Props, Weapons, Environments, pipelines, Team Leadership and Art Direction.
I have excellent high and low polygon modelling skills including a good knowledge of materials, shaders and rendering. I have a wealth of knowledge and experience of game pipelines.
I'm self motivated, intelligent and enthusiastic with the ability to motivate others. I have a true passion for games (understatement!), great attention to detail, and a desire to create outstanding entertainment experiences. I am a good communicator and a great team-player, I maintain good relationships with other team members and I always ensure high quality work is delivered on time achieving all set targets and deadlines. I can work to any art style required.
Over the years my career progressed from Artist, to Senior, to Lead and now currently, Associate Art Director.
