I trained in fine art and textiles. Worked for 12 years as an illustrator and artist so I have very good drawing and painting skills. Good 3d design and building skills and have done the design for 3 short films. (see photos for latest set build and decoration of a 8ft deep grave, 2.5 feet off the ground witha 4ft wide platform around the top. This was for a short called 'The Grave' where the set had to be accessable from the sides, top and underneath) Film and TV design experience. Computer skills - photoshop, illustrator, InDesign, GoLive, LiveMotion. I am used to working in a budget and to tight deadlines.
