Bio

Meet Alan.

All for the love of cartoons, Alan said goodbye to his small forestry town life in South Waikato. Alan left behind the abundance of fresh air and lack of rush hour to attend Auckland University of Technology to earn his Bachelor of Graphic Design.

His creative talent, especially character illustration impressed the late, great, founder of one of New Zealand's foremost animation studios, Flux Animation Ltd. Alan spent the next 20 years at Flux, working with some of NZ's (and the world's) biggest brands.

Alan has been professionally freelancing for 2 years since leaving Flux. His specialist skills are in illustration, character design, graphic design and storyboarding. Using a wide range of design styles he's adopted over the years, Alan is able to cater to any illustration and design requests that come his way. He is also able to pump out 30 - 35 frames per day, one of the fastest in the industry.
