With an enthusiastic passion to learn and explore evolving software and technology, I hold both an undergraduate degree in Interactive and Visual Design (QUT - 2016) and a master's in Production Design for Screen (VCA - 2018). I have produced props and graphics for Australian productions - most recently as the graphic artist on Nautilus.
