Turning your creative ideas into an artistic revolution
I began my career after studying Animation at CityVarsity Film and Multimedia School as a freelance Graphic Designer, creating business packages (logos, business cards, letterheads, invitations, collages, etc) while working in hospitality for added income until late 2009. I then started working for Clockwork Zoo, where I began as a Background Artist and moved to Storyboarding, doing boards for Cookie Jar’s ‘Caillou’ and for Playhouse Disney’s ‘Florrie’s Dragons’. Sadly, the company closed down in late 2010. Thereafter I returned to my Freelance Illustration and Graphic Designing until early 2011. I then became a Graphic Designer for 3@1 Business and Communication where I broadened my knowledge of designing and also learnt printing, packaging, stretching of canvas. In early 2013 I started as a Storyboard Artist, Character Designer, Background Artist, Prop Designer and Animator for Bubblegum Educational Design until March 2015.
