Statement
As an experienced Broadcast Designer I have worked for various post production houses, television stations, and design studios, working with both international and national companies to develop captivating motion design, in television and film. Continuing my studies in Broadcast Design at post graduate university AFTRS (Australian Film Television and Radio School) enabled experimentation and development of my skills whilst working in the industry. My past roles have included both conceptualization and design of title sequences, promos, on air branding and special effects for television commercials and programs. During my career I have often collaborated on projects with Directors, Producers, Editors, 3D Animators and Sound Designers. This important aspect of design has encouraged growth in my work which I would like to continue in the future. I also have experience working independently form brief to completion and delivery of design projects.
