Visual Stories
I am an award-winning Architectural Designer and Digital Artist based in Leeds, with over 10 years of experience within the Architecture and CG Industry. After being awarded a Distinction for my Masters of Architecture degree, I have specialised in creating visual stories of the built environment through the medium of imagery, film and virtual reality.

Motion Graphic
With the development of powerful GPUs, entire animations can now be rendered through single workstations. Over the last year, I have been involved in the beta testing of the rendering programme, D5. The above film was featured in their launch film real.
360 Panoramic VR
VR gives the ability for clients to fully experience a design before it is built. This is a technology that I am developing in tandem with, creating truly immersive experiences.
Interior Inspiration
Over the years I have produced designs and visuals for many interior projects. Today we see the rise of home interiors, where we can use a simple plan with a Pinterest board to create photoreal imagery and walkthroughs.
Landscaping Collaborations
Recently I have been collaborating with local designers, showcasing their designs in 3D to enable clients to better understand the proposed forms and colours. Being an enthusiastic gardener myself, this has been a really good experience to meet new people whilst picking up some design tips.
Photography
Recording the places around you is invaluable for creating digital art. Seeing real-world examples is the best way to understand fundamentals such as lighting, colour and depth. The adjacent photos were taken during a trip to Glencoe, Scotland.
Concept Drawing
Much like photography, drawing is also a valuable tool for improving CG works. Often I will quickly sketch out compositions for projects before even 3D modelling. Below are some 2D images which began as pencil sketches and then taken into Photoshop to add colour.
