About

I taught myself to build websites at seven, hooked from the moment I realised I could make something out of nothing.

That never really wore off. I started a design agency at thirteen, took on real clients, and kept picking things up as I went: design, then development, then branding, then a camera. Each one self-taught, the same way I started, building rough versions until they got good.

Now studying at the University of Sydney, I work across design, development and film. I design things and I build them, which is the part most people can’t do.

When I’m not working, you’ll find me with a ball at my feet or deep in some history.
