Pleased to meet you! I an an illustrator, content creator, and educator. After graduating in 2001 from UWS Nepean with a BA in Communication Studies, I’ve had a varied career which has touched on education, video production, advertising, and animation.

For the past four years, I have produced several courses and content for CG Cookie. Some of my more recent work includes the Free Blender Basics course updated for the most current Long-Term Support version of Blender.

The course has been well recieved by students, and the reviews are glowing! Check some of these out:

I have created several other courses focusing on using the Grease Pencil tool. You can get a free introduction to Grease Pencil with DRAW!

I followed up Draw! with two paid courses which explore more specific tasks such as concept art and creating a character turnaround sheet:

Along the way, I got to help the wider Autotroph team with graphical elements, designs, and even copy for their blog. I worked 100% remotely from my home studio.

Prior to my work with CG Cookie, I have been a freelancer since 2007. I’ve worked in several studios including Leo Burnette, DDB, M&C Saachi – to name a few. Just before Covid hit, I was creating content for Nickelodeon and MTV out of the VIACOM offices here in Sydney.
