PROP MAKER & ART DEPT
Welcome to my webpage.
Here, you will find examples of my professional work from film and television including prop making, concept visuals, storyboards, technical drawings, and digital design.
With over a decade of experience in 3D design and printing, I specialize in blending traditional hand fabrication and kit bashing with modern digital fabrication. Check out some of my projects below to see how I bring ideas from concept to reality.
There are also some examples of my ceramics and other personal projects
Please note i am in the process of updating my portfolio (02/06/26) as it currently consists of my university work, but there are examples of recent prop work in the gallery below
