About

Hello, my name is Jordan!

I am a Senior Creatures Technical Director based in Melbourne. With a strong passion for bringing characters to life in films, I have acquired diverse experience in various roles throughout my career.

In my previous positions, I have served as a Character Rigger, Creatures Technical Director, Technical Animator, 3D Generalist, 3D Modeller, Lead Artist, and VFX Supervisor. These opportunities have allowed me to work across a range of industries including Feature Film, Realtime Film, Games, and Urban Planning.

I hold a degree in Animation from the Queensland College of Art, which I completed in December 2007. Since then, I have consistently sought out engaging projects with talented individuals.

Outside of work, I find enjoyment in skateboarding alongside my friends. It is during these moments that I find inspiration and recharge my creative energy.

Some of my key strengths lie in Character Rigging, encompassing Realistic Rigging, Face Rigging, Cartoon/Stylized Rigging, Vehicle Rigging, and Character Deformation. Additionally, I possess expertise in Autodesk Maya and Python.

I look forward to collaborating on exciting ventures with fellow professionals in the field.
