I am a proud Wiradyuri man born in Wagga Wagga who grew up in Leeton. I have graduated from Charles Sturt University with a Bachelor of Creative Arts and Design (Animation and Visual Effects), a Bachelor of Science (Honours) with a joint research project involving the Creative Industries and Science faculties, and a Graduate Certificate in Wiradyuri Language, Culture, and Heritage. I am the owner of Birdyulang Animations. Birdyulang translates from Wiradyuri to mean “Scar, an old scar” and I chose this word because my hopes with my animation company is to use my skills to work with my Elders and Wiradyuri community to help heal some of our scars caused by intergenerational trauma.

My Background
The majority of my work is in the 3D space. I create 3D models and animations using software such as Autodesk Maya. I have also used Autodesk MotionBuilder for motion capture, SideFX Houdini for digital effects and volume simulations, Adobe Creative Suite for photo and video editing, and Unreal Engine 4 for game, VR and video development

My Inspiration
A huge inspiration for me is my culture and my cultural identity within this. By using my skills I hope to preserve and promote Wiradjuri culture and language as well as the wider Australian Aboriginal culture and language.
I am also inspired by films such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Matrix, and Disney/Pixar films.
