Who am I? BIRTH / 1997
A couple of decades ago I was born in Auckland, New Zealand. When I was nine years old, we moved to Sydney, Australia, where I frolicked in the sun and found it altogether too hot after five years. With the rest of my family sharing the sentiment, we returned home. After high-school I moved on to the Bachelor of Creative Technologies at AUT.
The BCT was a melting pot for all kinds. It actively discouraged specialisation in favour of experimentation and collaboration, aiming to breed creatives that were more Architect than Artisan. Après-university I spent a year building websites for horse trainers and jewellers alike before diving back into education at Media Design School's renowned 'AdSchool'. There, I studied under the ruthless and brilliant Kate Humphries, who was as charmed by my character as she was scathing with my work. I know art direction, I can write copy, I've done graphic design, sound design, game design and web design. I've done programming (badly), I can make music and I did animation once. I am a young creative fuelled by good humour and a love of Dungeons and Dragons. |
