About

AD- Supervising Art Director, Production Designer

Born in the UK …raised in the seventies, Ska Bowie Punk, art and anarchy, always had a knack for pulling things apart and re building them. Raised with horses traded them for motorcycles, sold the bikes headed for the US of A. Was an Ad guy then an Art guy…drafting, making models, getting dirty and paid to do it….loved every minute of it. Music Videos and Commercials tons of them, I met and learnt from so many great people, some now the most influential people in the industry. My first film Art Directing gig “Lawnmower Man” with Alex McDowell a foray into VR that has now come full circle. Seven years at ILM art directing led to designing the animated film “The Wild” and “Bunraku” a genre twisting indie film shot entirely on stage in Bucharest. I collaborated with Walt Disney Imagineering to create the “Ratatouille“ kitchen ride for Euro Disney and art directed “In Time” and “Man of Steel” followed by Designing and Art Directing two seasons with ABC’s “Castle”. 

Taking a break from traditional film I jumped into Immersive story telling with Alex McDowell at The 5D Global Studio exploring the “what if and why” for non profit and corporate clientele like Nike & Boeing …. that was fun but you gotta make movies!! like, James Mangolds “Logan” with production designer François Audouy and Jess Gonchor and the Coen Brothers with the Ballad of Buster Scruggs…yee ha!

Little Women with Jess and Director Greta Gerwig and a handful more projects to keep it interesting. 

In the art department, there is no NO! seemingly anyway.. the vision creativity and can do attitudes that come from the shared goal between the departments to create environments that immerse you into them so effortlessly you’re hooked, you believe it all…that’s the good stuff….My latest foray in film…2022’s White Noise…..life imitates art.
