About me
5 years ago, I decided that I wasn’t being paid enough to not do something that I really loved and had a passion for. So, I cut my hours at work, put together a portfolio and applied to the foundation degree in props at Northbrook. Haven't looked back since.When I am not freelancing, making private commission or personal props to expand my portfolio, I spend time INSIDE! Playing videogames and thinking back to when I could play board games, and tabletop role playing games, such as Dungeons and Dragons with friends.
I drew and modified miniature models from an early age, at college my tutors opened me up to working with 3D media, such as wire, clay, wood, foam and just about anything else that I could manipulate to produce a desired effect.
Experimenting with new media and collaborating with other creatives drew me to prop making. Paired with a love of practical effects, especially the animatronics, stop motion and puppetry of films from my childhood such as, Star Wars, Gremlins and the work of the Jim Henson studio.
My current inspiration comes from the works of Guillermo del Toro, chiefly from the Hellboy films, also from the work and passion of the industrial and special effects designer Adam Savage.
