ABOUT
ME
I solve business problems with pictures and stories. It's my job to make things fun and engaging and I can't imagine anything I'd enjoy more. I bring ideas to life using a skillset rarely found in the business world. I straddle both the artistic and scientific sides of modern production, this means everything from pencil sketches, Vector illustration and 2D animation to 3D graphics, photography and even some programming. Every good idea starts with a script, so I'm also a passionate writer.
When I'm not actively working, I study art, science and philosophy. I adapt what I learn into personal projects.
This image is a snapshot of the wonderful things that have meant so much to me in my life. The story of me, if you will.

I’ve built a career on good, fast work and a diverse skill set. I employ design thinking in everything I do, even preparing a meal. It’s always about the purpose; if the content is more important than the visual, spend more time on the script; if the image is purely conceptual, don’t spend eight hours rendering it when two hours will convey the message. This has always driven me to understand and drive every part of the production process, from initial ideation and concept to final delivery. I’m passionate about keeping my pipeline efficient – there’s way too much other awesome work waiting to be done.
I have a love for Agile methodology. So much so that I decided to become an internationally registered Scrum Master. I learn as much as I can from the Agilists and project managers I work with, and I adapt a lot of methodology to my small, often-one-person pipeline.
Contact me via email or Whatsapp, or follow me on social media. I'm always happy to engage with new people.
