I've spent nearly a decade in the art department of Australian film and television, crafting everything from period-accurate hero props and forged historical documents to vehicle decals and fictitious brand identities. I build visual worlds that feel authentic down to the millimeter, whether they’re meant to seamlessly blend into the background or carry the scene.
Every piece I build is rooted in deliberate research, hand-drawn iteration, and meticulous execution. I don't rely on AI shortcuts or shallow design trends. I'm interested in the tactile history behind a graphic, the quirk of vintage typography, and the real-world grit that gives human environments character.
Before designing for screen, I trained as a fine artist and spent time as an apprentice tattoo artist. That hands-on foundation built my obsession with line weight, physical craftsmanship, custom lettering and the lived experiences of everyday Australians.
Today, I collaborate with local businesses, screen productions and brands that value accuracy, visual integrity and human creativity. Available for freelance commissions, short-term contracts and full-time roles.
