It is such a wonderful time to be alive

The digital landscape is always changing and how it impacts our daily lives, and it keeps growing. 3D interactive models are influencing many industries and how we do things, however it can appear to be a magic box that only a select few can enter.

I am here to say it’s more accessible than ever.

I am an Immersive Designer who is passionate about finding solutions to aid clients with the right real time technologies. Guiding you through the process of how 3D assets, interactive content and technology can be used meet a desired outcome. Then by drawing from my diverse portfolio of experience to turn your solution into a reality.

What I Bring To The Table

Unity 3D

Over a decade of experience building a variety of Real-time projects.

3D Modeling

Create optimised meshes and textures with 3DS Max, Fusion 360 or Blender based from CaD data or reference.

Behaviour/ Interaction Programmer

Develop frameworks, plugins and behavioral code with C# to speed up production pipelines and create a seamless user experience.

Virtual and Augmented Reality

Project experience with deploying Hololens, HTC Vive, Oculus Quest and showcasing them to clients at events.

Content Capture

To capture the right information for a seamless project completion, I draw on my photography experience in 360 imaging, photogrammetry, texture and reference capture.

Sound Design

From taking on-site recordings to generating other worldly sounds on synthesizers, mixed with a blend of music and game theory for responsive spatial auditory feedback systems.

Desktop and Mobile Deployment

From high end PC to a web browser out in the middle of Australia. I have completed a variety projects on Android, iOS, Desktop and WebGL to suit a wide range of end users.

Video Production

Bringing together cinematography and lecturing, I create video content to show of the potential of an idea and to explain how to achieve it.

Outside The Box Tinkerer

Building custom control interfaces with off the shelf products to create hyper reality experiences with my electronics, 3D printing and tinkerer mindset.

How I Got Here

I was the kid that as soon as I got a computer, I started nerding out. Making 3D models, games and all sorts of creative things.

What cemented my calling was when I witnessed a workplace accident that I though how could I use games to prevent something like that from happening. This was a time OHS training was death by PowerPoint and paper tests.

I thought If I could get someone to repeat the task in a digital space with no chance of an accident, that would have so much more impact to their life than slides ever could.

This calling moved me across Australia, where I studied and worked as a game designer/ developer using Unity 3D and C#, however this was one part of the skill that I needed. I shifted my career into the architecture visualisation with 3DS Max, then real time visualisation in engineering sector. Here I was exposed to a multitude of clients and projects to hone my craft, using virtual/augment reality to find creative solutions to interrogate designs collaboratively between stakeholders and community.

Today I am working in education sector. Consulting with academics and developing interactive 3D content to improve student learning outcomes. Creating a pedagogical approach to interactive content to meet students learning and location needs. I work daily with Hololenses, VR headsets and Custom installations, however the same content can be experienced by our rural students out in remote areas with WebGl.

I am in a space where I can achieve what I originally set out to do, however this story is far from over. I am always excited to see what is over the horizon and new things that can be used to improve people’s lives.

Looking To The Horizon

Overall, I am eager to get into the new decade. With how accessible 3D asset creation is and consumer grade technology able to show some impressive experience. I can see real time interactive content playing a part in our daily lives.

Geo-Spatial Shared Interactive Experiences Will Change How We Live

With the recent details about the Metaverse, we are seeing glimpses of how the digital and physical world can interact with each other. Creating hybrid spaces have the potential to greatly enhance people's lives by seamlessly merging the best parts of 3D interaction with the physical surroundings. This will impact a variety of industries over the coming decades, making our lives more connected, immersive, and meaningful.

Capturing Reality To Blend With The Digital World

One of my past times just turned official side hustle has been photography. It stemmed from just getting a pretty picture, however I like capturing people (my self-included as seen above). I am focusing on headshots for peoples linked in and online profiles however there is so much more I do with the camera. I am a known sucker for interesting textures on a cloudy day and you will see me being a big idiot to get them. Creating 3D content requires a lot of reference and understanding of reality. Being able to get on site to capture Photogrammetry, metcaps, photos and videos with the project in mind saves time and resources.

Sound Is A Powerful Tool For Guiding A User Through An Experience

My other passion involves music and music making machines. I love synthesizers and a chilled afternoon is a freshly brewed coffee and switching them on for a lengthy jam session. These machines has also made it into my work as they bring an unique element to sound design. I have learnt a few tricks over the year so I have a YouTube channel with a wonderful community around synthesizers and how to use them. If you are a synth fan, definitely pop on by.
