From initial idea through to the finished article, I design, create and sculpt flamboyant, yet practical and functional designs tailor-made to brief. From bespoke serving items for restauranteurs, to innovative pieces to decorate the most humble of objects; I use my drawing, graphic and sculptural skills to ensure dream concepts come to life. My completed designs are sent to factory for moulding and sampling, then once approved, produced on-mass in the desired finish and distributed.I also sketch, paint and create designs for gift vouchers, greeting cards and POS for in-house projects and retail purchase.

A different take on your classic wedding video - I decided to make mine to music. By using the first dance song (in most cases) I edited the best bits of the day into the time frame of the song to make their wedding day into a music video they'll never forget. The idea was that people (made to watch it) would not be bored watching hours of footage and the files could be made small enough to be emailed to friends and relatives unable to make the day.
