I’ve been in the creative industry for over 25 years, starting my career in desktop publishing at a brilliant little boutique agency called The Original Tipler Pomfrett Design Co. Of course, back then Photoshop 3 and Quark Express, and Freehand were the software packages of choice, the wonders of Adobe Creative Cloud products was many years away yet. At this point, I was blissfully unaware of the powerful 3D software tools that would bless our screens today.
It wasn’t until many years later as an artworker at Nexus that I had my first glimpse at the future, or at least my future! This piece of software that changed my career direction was called Bryce and truly captured my imagination and ignited a passion that continues today.
It was whilst working at Saga Holidays in Folkestone, producing brochures for holidays in faraway places, that I had the first introduction to more robust software; Cinema 4D 5! It was at this moment I began moving away from desktop design to follow a different path. I walked straight through the 3D door. I am still competent with all things print and publishing, but the majority of my work for the last 20 years has been of a 3D nature.
I love diversity, diversity in life and diversity in work. Across the years of my journey, I have been lucky enough to gain experience in many industries. This experience has given me a broad and diverse portfolio of work. Before the pandemic, I was enjoying my time at Jack Morton visualising exhibition and event spaces. Previous to that, I had a great stint within the retail sector preparing store designs, window displays and experiential environments.
