Comics, animation, films, video games, novels and role-playing games are the main influences in my art and life.

I’ve self-published an indie comic book series called Echoes from the Drift, which I write and illustrate.

I’ve worked as the Art Director for Cucafera Games, briefing other artists and creating artwork and graphic design for game books and board games.

I’ve created storyboards for music videos and TV commercials. I’ve also worked in an animation studio as a designer, clean-up artist and background colourist.

I have a range of styles, from a more realistic comic book style to a cute and cartoony style.

I’m always open to feedback to create the best stories and artwork possible. I enjoy sharing knowledge, collaborating with other creators and can work in teams or autonomously.

I’m originally from New Zealand and now live in Barcelona, Spain. I’m a native English speaker and have a dual nationality of French and New Zealander, so I’m able to work in Europe.
