Hi there! I'm Alex, a Melbourne-based creative who's been crafting video game and film marketing materials for almost 20 years. The majority of my career has been in-house at some of Australia's largest video game studios and film distributors and I've now moved into the freelance world specialising in trailers for indie video games.
I've worn many hats over my career, be it as a graphic designer, motion designer or video editor, and sometimes all at once! I've also been very fortunate to have been entrusted to work on a diverse range of iconic franchises such as Formula 1, Need For Speed, Harry Potter, The Hobbit, Lego and The Sims.
I now bring that high-end commercial polish, care and expertise to every project I collaborate on, no matter the scope or budget.
