✨ I recently had the privilege of serving as Art Director for the trailer Death Chess.
This project wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible trust, effort, and creativity of the amazing team below. I am deeply thankful to each person who poured their talent into bringing this vision to life.
A special thank you to Khaya Thambisa Animation Studio for leading this project with passion, and to the @nfvfsa National Film and Video Foundation South Africa for continuously supporting emerging creators and helping ideas like this reach the finish line.
Your support, collaboration, and belief in the story mean more than words can express. I’m proud of what we’ve created together, and I hope you’ll take a moment to watch the trailer on YouTube and support the project.

6 months since I started freelancing full-time and it has been a roller-coaster of an adventure.

Busy scoring the new Bru & Boegie animation short made by the talented and really funny Mike Scott. Creating the sound world for Bru & Boegie's crazy adventure was probably the most fun I've ever had writing music.
