ENVIRONMENTS | VISUAL DEVELOPMENT
I’m a London-based Visual Artist with over 15 years’ experience creating images for film, TV, and streaming projects. My credits include Guardians of the Galaxy, The Jungle Book, The Martian, The Crown, Damsel, and SAS Rogue Heroes.
With a Fine Art background from Central Saint Martins, I bring a strong artistic sensibility to every project. Combining traditional painting foundations with digital workflows across vfx disciplines.
As both an artist and lead, I love working in collaborative settings, known for enthusiasm, problem-solving, and a sharp eye for photorealism and mood. Passionate about world-building and visual storytelling, I continue to explore new tools from Unreal and Blender and AI-assisted workflows to stay at the cutting edge of environment design and image-making.
