Skills

I have skills that reach across the various roles of art direction, from working on camera, generating graphics, researching, professional writing, set dressing and prop buying. I also have experience as a personal assistant for directors and designers in the film industry and the art world which has lead to storyboard work. I have good knowledge of computer design programs, with some technical drawing skills and good workshop and model making skills. I have worked in scenic art for a number of years and I have a strong understanding of perspective, I take an excellent photograph and I can draw well in freehand.
My practical experience on set is good and I am able to manage a team. I am experienced in television, film and music video.
