Summary
Hi! I’m a concept artist and illustrator specialising in fantasy design. Professionally, aside from freelance jobs, I’ve worked on Everdawn: Champions, a fantasy trading-card game for over three years. Other experience includes a number of fan projects, most notably art directing the Lord of the Rings 'Total War' mod, the Dawnless Days since 2020.
I am a first-class graduate of film sculpture and prop making at the University of Hertfordshire, and have experience working on both Sky and Amazon studios productions.

Experience
- Concept Artist, Illustrator at Nexus PlayLondon, GBJuly 2021 - January 2025
Nexus Play is currently developing Everdawn: Champions, an online trading-card game. I have worked with them closely (from when the company was formed in 2021) to build a realistic and immersive fantasy world. My time there saw me working on all things 2D: character, creature, environment and prop concept art, as well as UI design and card art illustration.
- Junior Greenspan, Set Dresser at Greens TeamBovingdon Studios, GBOctober 2023 - November 2023
Greens Team were instrumental in bringing Amazon's 'Rings of Power' season 2 to life. We worked with plants, fake and real, to populate the beautiful elven sets of Lindon. My main tasks were creating the dying trees seen in the main Lindon set, and dressing the 'Hall of Heroes' set where Galadriel has the vision of Celebrimbor's death. Overall a very cool experience!
- Scenic Artist at Constructive CreativeLondon, GBJune 2021 - July 2021
Constructive Creative worked on the Sky film, 'The Amazing Mr. Blunden' to bring the sets to life. We painted and weathered a replica set of Finchcock's Manor House - a huge task, as the set required a detailed brickwork exterior and a wood-panelled interior. The set also had to be entirely redecorated in an aged and burnt state for later in the film. There was also several smaller sets that needed similar treatment.
