ABOUT ME
Hi! I’m Tom, a 3D Generalist based in Sydney, Australia. I recently completed my Bachelor of 3D Design & Animation at Torrens University Australia. Through my experience teaching primary school students, I have witnessed first hand the impact that dynamic and custom animation can have on engaging students and elevating their learning experience to a new level.
I returned to further tertiary studies to expand my skill set in this creative field. I am seeking opportunities and projects to combine my love of creating immersive environments and impactful models ideally with an educative intent. I am always open to a conversion, don't hesitate to reach out.
