About Me

I'm a 3D artist with a deep love for cinematography, photography, and evocative storytelling. I draw inspiration from nature, world cinema, and the kind of quiet, emotionally rich narratives that linger in the mind. That same sensibility guides how I build and light my scenes.

I grew up in rural Ireland, which gave me a strong understanding of the natural world which is something that often finds its way into my work. I enjoy building a wide range of environments, from dense jungles and open flatlands to atmospheric cities and futuristic landscapes. Whatever the setting, I try to infuse it with mood and meaning.

Over the years, I’ve worked on projects spanning commercials, music videos, television, and 360° installations. I now work remotely with clients across Europe and the US. Before I moved into 3D, I studied radio and worked in music - an influence that still shapes how I approach rhythm, tone, and atmosphere in visual storytelling.

More than anything, I’m drawn to work that feels cinematic, textured, and emotionally grounded.
