a photo of me!

Hi, I'm Shaun

I'm a seasoned web & graphic designer with over 15 years of experience crafting immersive digital experiences and developing 3D game assets. After earning my First Class Honours - Bachelor of Arts - degree in Computer Games Art, I dove headfirst into the freelance world, collaborating with a range of clients and delivering top-tier websites and assets. One of the highlights of my career was bringing my skills to a project for Polé International De La Préhistoire in France – a moment I’ll always be proud of.

I’m fluent in a wide array of tools and technologies that allow me to build seamless, dynamic websites and eye-catching game content. From Davinci, HTML5, CSS, JavaScript, and PHP, to 3DS Max, UnrealScript, Photoshop, Illustrator and everything in between – I’ve got the creative and technical know-how to bring any vision to life. Whether it’s a custom-built site or a cutting-edge 3D asset, I’m all about creating tailored solutions that captivate users and elevate brands.

In my free time, I love spending time with my quirky little animal family — a turtle, some fascinating leaf and stick insects, and a lively bunch of fish. Each one has its own personality, and taking care of them is not just a daily routine but a genuinely enjoyable and calming part of my day. Beyond my love for animals, I’m always up for an adventure, whether it’s hiking through scenic trails, discovering hidden gems in nature, or simply soaking in a breathtaking sunset. There’s something special about exploring new outdoor places and taking in the beauty of the world around me.

When I’m not out in nature or tending to my pets, I love unwinding with my Nintendo Switch. Whether I’m delving into the depths of Hyrule’s caves, taking on fierce opponents in Mortal Kombat, or bouncing my way through Mario’s colorful worlds, gaming is my way of escaping into new adventures and having a blast.

Here are some snapshots of my favorite memories and my wonderful pets! Enjoy!
