Xin Xin - Digital Allsorts I was one of six people commissioned by the Noise festival to create an online work exploring ideas of cultural identity in Australia. My aim was to make an interactive animation treating language like a living breathing entity that can both torment and inspire. Language is more than just a tool for communication, it can inform the way you see the world in unexpected ways. launch the animation |

China - Rules of Entry I spent 2 months in Beijing China (see more in 'thinking - Chunks' section) and was struck by the difference in Australian people's perception of a rigid police-like monotone society and the experience I had - meeting so many interesting characters and seeing a lot of diversity and life. I began creating this animation which dealt with this disparity. Unfortunately I didn't get very far! It's probably not even 1/4 finished but here it is anyway. The music is from a Chinese punk band I interviewed - Hang on The Box. launch the unfinished animation |

Control Arms (Million Faces) - Oxfam Japan Control Arms is a global campaign focused on tighter regulations for the weapons industry. The existing UK style for the campaign was bold with violent imagery to push the point home. To appeal to the Japanese people, we modified this 'in-your-face' approach to create a much friendlier style. I created a flash banner to emphasize the idea of joining a community to support the campaign. launch the banner animation + Check out the Japanese 'Million Faces' website to find out more. |

Velvet Revolution I created flash presentation for a final year fashion design student which was used to showcase a new clothing range of cocktail wear for women.

If you can handle it launch the animation |
