who am I?
I'm Oli, an Australian maker and artist with a passion for film and design. I have a a foundation in illustration, animation, and character design, blending visual creativity with practical craftsmanship.
I thrive to turn ideas into tangible, expressive objects. I have a strong interest in working with repurposed materials, finding character and narrative in the discarded and overlooked.
I'm eager to continue developing my skills, grow as a props maker, and take on new creative challenges in the dynamic film industry.
