About Me

Hello and welcome to my online portfolio!

I’m an animator living in Portsmouth, UK working for the Creative Assembly in Horsham, West Sussex. I am currently Lead Animator on Hyenas. During my time at CA I have worked on Viking:Battle for Asgard, Empire: Total War, Napoleon: Total War, Total War: Shogun 2, Alien Isolation, Total War: Warhammer & Halo Wars 2.

I enjoy watching lots of films and TV, exercising (mostly running), playing video games – both old and new – and I’m a proud supporter of Portsmouth FC. I find music a great source for new ideas and having a very eclectic taste comes in handy! I find all these interests and more are what keep me fresh with ideas when animating.

Just a final thanks goes out to all my family, friends and especially my wife Aisha and daughter Evie.
