I spent 15 years at the BBC as a radio producer and presenter. I eventually tired of being behind the mic and decided to pursue my first love – design. I taught myself 2D animation before moving into 3D. My first big job was making cg smoke and fire effects for the West End musical From Here to Eternity. My credits include several other productions on both the West End and Broadway. I’ve produced motion graphics for national and international TV channels including BBC2 and the BBC News Channel. For the last 8 years I’ve also worked as a senior lecturer in digital media at Leeds Trinity University. When I’m not working I love cycling, creating (very poor) latte art and hanging out with my wife and kids.
