About

I have been a full-time lecturer in Digital Media (specialising in animation) since 2006, a part-time lecturer since 2003 and involved in the industry overall since 1998 in capacities which have included both broadcast and corporate television production, as well as interactive gaming.

I have spent the past three years with learn2 Digital Media Academy in Cape Town as the academy’s training manager and senior lecturer. learn2 is a division of Touchvision, an Autodesk Authorised Training Centre, specialising in a wide range of Autodesk Media and Entertainment products, as well as Adobe and ToonBoom software. Alongside my training role, I also provide technical support for Touchvision’s clients in both Cape Town and Johannesburg, and also fulfil a marketing role for the company, managing its print and online campaigns from concept to publication. I have in the past two years also been called on regularly by Autodesk and Adobe South Africa to assist with demos countrywide when new products are launched annually.

In terms of training, I am an Autodesk Approved Instructor on 3ds Max and Combustion. I also teach ToonBoom Digital Pro, as well as Adobe Photoshop, Premiere and After Effects. Over and above teaching, I use all of these products professionally as well as a smattering of InDesign, Illustrator, Acrobat, Dreamweaver and Maya.

I love drawing, photography and listening to music.
