<p><span><span>A little about myself,</span></span></p> <p><span>I started my Professional Graphics work in 2000, having taught myself since 1997. I was approached to create a full length CG game intro as my first project and my efforts were rewarded with the best intro of 2001 award at the 3D Festival in Copenhagen.</span><br /><br /><span>I Co-founding Streamline Studios in 2001 based out of the Netherlands and gained a lot of experience during my time there with a few high profile contracts. Further along in 2005 I opened Allgraf Studios based out of South Africa as well as delving into the retail realm by opening DigiThirst, a gaming cafe catering to the local gaming community to experience gaming the way it should be on PC and Consoles.</span><br /><br /><span>In 2008 I returned to Europe working for Playlogic in The Netherlands as Lead Artist responsible for Graphical outsourcing and Directing the In-Game cinematics, both fields I am very comfortable in. the company has since closed and I have continued with outsourcing until my next long term contract.</span><br /><br /><span>Very much an entrepreneur, it shows in my work, and I put a lot of thought and planning into projects knowing how and when all the pieces fit together, and leading a team in its execution. I am comfortable Producing/Directing multiple projects and adapt quickly to any challenges that arise</span></p>
