Client: Darwin H2 (TotalEnergies / EREN Groupe)  |  Role: Visualisation Lead

  • Led the team delivering artistic impressions for a proposed 2.7 GW solar and 6 GWh battery project near Darwin, NT — one of Australia's largest proposed renewable energy developments.
  • Adapted the visualisation approach from photomontages to artistic impressions after identifying that the project's remote location and flat terrain would not produce meaningful photomontage results for the environmental assessment.
  • Managed team delivery across the full artistic impression suite to support the project's federal and NT environmental assessment process.

Client: ARTC  |  Role: Project Manager – Visualisation

  • Led the visualisation team throughout the project, managing delivery across a corridor-scale rail infrastructure workstream on time and within budget.
  • Produced a 300km corridor video aligned to the client's art style direction for stakeholder and planning engagement.
  • Generated photomontages in support of the client's Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA).
  • Coordinated multi-disciplinary inputs including GIS, design, and environmental data into coherent visual outputs.
  • Generating multiple visual outputs helped the community and stakeholders understand the project, supporting its progression from approvals and design through to construction.

Client: Victorian State Government  |  Role: 3D Artist / Visualisation Consultant

  • Produced visual assets across 8 distinct sites reflecting multiple design stages using VRay, 3ds Max, Global Mapper, and AutoCAD.
  • Sourced and integrated terrain and aerial imagery data to create accurate environmental contexts.

  • Led 3D model creation and NSW Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) visualisation for a 300 MW / 3,600 MWh pumped hydro and 330 MW solar facility — declared Critical State Significant Infrastructure in the Gloucester Valley, NSW.
  • Managed the artistic impressions team to deliver stakeholder and planning approval visuals for one of NSW's most significant proposed clean energy projects.
  • Enabled the project to work through approval stages, with visuals supporting the client's responses to regulatory bodies.
  • Enabled the client to clearly communicate the design at early stages to gain community support.

COLLIE BATTERY ENERGY STORAGE

2021

Client: Neoen Australia  |  Role: 3D Artist / Visualisation Consultant

HOBBIES & INTERESTS

A keen sportsman across team and individual pursuits — basketball, netball, rugby union, cricket, 5-a-side indoor football, and table tennis. Outside of team sport, longboarding, skiing, and motorbikes satisfy a love of movement and speed.

Deeply engaged with technology and making — 3D printing, photogrammetry, drones, and virtual reality sit naturally alongside professional interests. Urban exploring and street art feed a curiosity for the built environment and culture, while vinyl records and documentaries round out a broad appetite for storytelling.

International travel is a constant, and cheese making provides a more hands-on creative outlet at home.
