ABOUT ME
Welcome!
I'm Jeremy, and I've been on a journey exploring and creating many different forms of art and design, both for work and for personal enjoyment throughout my life. Growing up in Wellington New Zealand, I have had the privilege of having many different opportunities to grow my skills as an artist, across a range of fields throughout my career.
After excelling at art and graphic design subjects at College, I embarked on a Bachelor of Design degree at Massey University, and quickly began gravitating towards the digital areas of art and design. This was driven by my interest in computers and digital media, and steered me towards a major of 3d animation.
Following graduation I began my career in the film industry at Weta FX, working on Avatar in 2009. Since this time I have continued gaining experience in numerous Post Production and VFX houses both locally and internationally, working on a variety of TVC and Feature Films. With 14 years of experience in this field including leading roles, I've been fortunate to have contributed to many amazing projects, and collaborate with many talented artists along the way.
My time creating environments and cities in the layout department at Weta FX was a significant and rewarding part of my career, and my contributions were recognised in the form of various nominations and awards.
My desire to continue exploring new creative outlets have in more recent years has led me into the video games industry, where I have been enjoying creating a wide range of different content and solving technical challenges within the real time space.
Its been an fun and exciting journey so far, and I look forward to what the future holds across these ever changing creative industries. The technology moves fast.. being adaptable, and continuously seeking to expand knowledge into new areas is all part of the journey, and the enjoyment!
