CV

A B O U T

M E There’s not a lot of things I love more than good

design. Except maybe a nice cup of tea with a

couple of Bourbons.

I come from a background in film and video, but I’ve

development my skills in the direction of graphics,

web design and photography. I really like making

beautiful things.

I’m from Canada orginally, but now call the UK home.

Canada is lovely, but there aren’t many castles or

Roman forts to explore, so I’m sticking with this

side of the pond.

E D U C A T

I O N

Master of Arts (Distinction)

Archaeology for Screen Media

University of Bristol, 2010

Award: Mick Aston Prize for Excellence

About: A lot of people ask me what me what

archaeology for screen media is. I try to explain

that it’s like Time Team (with whom we did do a

placement), but it’s also much more than that.

Most of my own work focused on the intersection

of heritage, learning and media. I was lucky to

undertake my dissertation with Cadw: Welsh

Historic Monuments in researching, writing and

storyboarding an historic son-et-lumière forCaerphilly Castle.

Bachelor of Arts, Honours (First)

Film Studies and Classics

Queen’s University, 2005

Awards: Queen’s Entrance Award

Queen Elizabeth II Aiming for the Top Award

Pat-Douglas Murray Memorial Scholarship for Film

About: Practical and theoretical instruction in film and video,

with lots of Romans thrown in for good measure.
