Profile
With over 20 years of experience in architectural visualization, I bring unbuilt ideas to life through still imagery, animation and visual storytelling. I have collaborated with leading names such as SANAA, LVMH and Shigeru Ban, producing work to the highest standards across architecture, design and visual communication.
I work from early design studies and competition presentations through to polished final imagery and films. I am comfortable interpreting architectural models, drawings and incomplete information, translating design intent into convincing and atmospheric visuals while remaining faithful to the architecture. I work independently, adapt quickly to different architectural languages and can take responsibility for an image or film from initial concept through to final delivery.
