I am a Model Design (Special Effects) graduate from the University of Hertfordshire. I specialise in practical effects and model making, although, I am always looking to learn more and expand my knowledge and skills. My skills include techniques and processes such as: 

• Cable controlled & animatronic puppets 

• Fabrication of large and small scale models

• Design (CAD & on paper)

• Painting & texturing

• Carpentry 

• Metal work (including welding)

• Sculpting

• Moulding & casting (silicone & fibreglass)

​

I am also a keen illustrator having been drawing since a young age and I intend on expanding this skill in a professional direction.

​

I have had experience in many different workshops over the years and I understand the health and safety regulations as well as how to service most machines. The main machines I have experience with are band-saws, disk/belt sanders, jigsaws, pillar-drills, lathes, milling machines, C&C routers, and laser cutters.
