I’m fluent in Adobe After Effects, Premier, Photoshop and illustrator. Inaddition, I have strong IT problem solving skills within both Mac & PC environmentsincluding their hardware and software.My strength is my Motion Graphics skills. Over my career I have created a wide range of animated short form, long form, info-graphics, reels, logos, ad-spots and more in After Effects and 3D software (Maya, C4D etc.). I possess a robust knowledge of 3D animation and design - actively utilising it within my work to take content to the next level.My freelance career has seen me work with big brand names on jobs such as;The Emporium CBD’s mega-screen animated Adspot, ELEVEN’s mixed media Brandspot, Westside Apparel Social Media assets and working as the creative director for Sissy Screen's video content. Over the past three years in-house at VICE AU, I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to contribute to a variety of projects for advertisements, social media and promos, as well as TV shows(Noisey, Gaycation, Black Market, Australiana etc.) featured on SBS Viceland.While working at Vice Australia, I have also had the opportunity to develop my ownproductions (Tin Foil Hats and Internet Hygiene for Vice Australia).I've worked with big companies such as NAB, Suncorp, Powerball etc. to bring their ideas to theyouth of Australia. While working there it was crucial for me to be consistentlyengaged in new ideas and innovative tactics to enhance our reach to new audiences.
