I am a permanent resident of California. My background is in Fine Art, Corporate Events production, Web Development and graphic design. Growing up with artist parents who along rich and colorful careers among other things illustrated many Graham Greene original covers and the latter of the original run of Thomas The Tank Engine books for Rev. Awdry, worked on many high profile exhibitions both fine art and designing commercial exhibits gave me many opportunities to explore and experience the artist and freelancers life and those oh so important requirements for flexibility, hard work and out of the box thinking and an insatiable appetite to learn new skills which have served me well in my own career both as a freelancer and full time employee. Exploration is key to a rich life and being an effective asset for my clients and customers. I love new challenges and new disciplines. Whether working on film pipeline tools, game engines, blue chip corporate brand work, database development, making motion graphics animations for projection on buildings, developing plugin tools for The Third Party or my own personal experiments.
