Kings Langley, Hertfordshire Uk

After 7 years of creating models and special effects for Film and TV, I decided to focus on 3D Design for Themeparks, Events, Retail and Leisure.I began working with the Tussaud's Studios Group (now Merlin Entertainments) on "Splash Landings" Resort at Alton Towers modelling versions of the layout, and creating all of the rock-work seen throughout the resort. I also worked on Halloween themeing, "DUEL" at Alton Towers, and "HOPE" Exhibit, for Madame Tussaud's New York.I was commissioned by The Disney Store to design large scale installations for the interiors and exteriors of their flagship stores, including schemes for "The Incredibles", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The Muppets Halloween Spooktacular", The Nightmare Before Christmas" and "Pirates of the Caribbbean" amongst others.Harrods Ltd, also commissioned me to work with them on a number of spectacular seasonal projects throughout the year, including designing their legendary Christmas Grotto. Other clients have included Sarner Ltd, PEL Creative, Battersea Arts Centre, JCB , The Magic Circle, and London Paramount Resorts amongst others.I continue to work with a number of Retail, Themed Attraction and Experiential Events companies to create very exciting things all year around, and look forward to hearing from you!
