I got on board right at the beginning of the production, brainstorming, researching, designing and testing out ideas. See the results of the build in my portfolio gallery! Now playing for pre-schoolers.

Teacher at Malmö Folkhögskola

Special Effects Artist at Legacy Effects

Los Angeles, 2014 and 2015-2016

At this legendary FX shop in Los Angeles I worked mainly in Art Department, Model Shop, Paint and Fabrication Department, furthering all my modelmaking skills learning from highly qualified artists and industry veterans. This company takes on many productions at the same time, and it is common to move fast between projects and interdisciplinary departments as well as on set. Using tons of varying materials (fabric, foam, rubber, metal, paints, 2 part component plastics, fiberglass etc) and techniques (molding, casting, sewing, sculpting, painting, hard edge modeling) I've worked on movies such as Jurassic World, The Shape of Water, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 and many commercials and TV shows (Call of Duty, Gray's Anatomy, The Expanse).

Modelmaker at Bowsie Workshop

Dublin, (2012 - 2014) 2015

In 2015 I worked on the stop motion animation short called A Terrible Hullabaloo about the Easter Rising. As I had interned and worked with the company on several occasions before I was glad to be part of the modelmaking team for a film that the Dublin based FX shop wrote, directed and produced, requiring hand made puppets, props and sets.

Modelmaker at Ardmore Studios
