About Me
I am an experienced artist who has recently finished two grueling courses at Media Design School, located in Auckland, New Zealand. These courses include the Graduate Diploma in Game Development and Diploma in 3d Animation.
For three years I studied both these courses, targeting animation as my strong point. During the Game Development course, our class created a small PC Game known as Nightfall. In this project, my role was Lead Animator. I was responsible for Rigging, Skinning and Animating four Human characters and four Alien characters.

Skills
I have learnt a variety of software throughout my education. I have excellent experience using Autodesk Maya, Adobe Photoshop and NaturalMotion Endorphin. I also have a confident pipeline between these software packages.
I am hard working, dedicated and work well in a team environment. I have good communication and leadership skills. I am honest and have a strong desire to learn. I am interested in all animation related roles, particular in Rigging, Skinning and Game Animations.
My interests include playing all Video Games, Basketball, Softball, Football, Teaching and Animating.
