Welcome to my website! I am currently living in Christchurch, New Zealand. Originally from Ireland, I lived in London for 12 years before moving to NZ. Photography and design have always been passions of mine, and I was lucky enough to travel to South America with my camera in 2019. Now, living in NZ, I am constantly inspired by the stunning landscapes and the unique quality of light here.
In addition to my love of photography and design, I am also excited to be working in a new industry as a Support Worker with NZCL. In my 13 years of experience in the animation industry, I have been fortunate to work in some incredible studios in the UK and NZ. I started my journey in the creative industries later in life, studying 3D Digital animation at the University of Hertfordshire and graduating in 2010. Since then, I have been fortunate to have a steady career in animation. Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you enjoy exploring my work and experiences.

Before I went back to education to study CG I was in the service industry for 16 years, during that time I I really got to study human nature and how to be customer focused at all times.
