With the introduction of the new C.R.A.B. robotic sentry system, policing has been revolutionised for the 21st Century. The advanced robotics technology behind the C.R.A.B.'s artificial intelligence has been secretly developed over the past 12 years as a joint venture between weapons manufacturer Dalton/Stanley and mega-corporation Omni-Corp. The results of their historical collaboration has been to produce the most advanced robotic defence system ever constructed, featuring next-generation weaponry and armour protection. The C.R.A.B. is set to pave the way for all future Police and Military automaton technology, and will be found on patrol in the public domain very soon.

A short 3D animation created to mimic the opening credits of a sc-fi movie. It depicts the progress of a lone space craft, through the vast industrial chasm of the mothership's mechanical interior, to its launch platform, and beyond: In the early part of the 22nd Century, it is revealed that the Earth will soon become uninhabitable. As a solution for the future of mankind, a group of scientists are specially selected to establish a Migration Outpost on a distant planetoid. Once there, they find it is the ideal host for continuing life that they had hoped for. That is until all communication with them is lost. Stranded in deep space, with help from Earth months away, their fate lies in the sparse crew of an orbiting station. But the crew are not equipped to deal with what they find waiting for them on the surface....

The A/SRH-C1 is the latest pioneering technology from renowned gun manufacturer Dalton/Stanley. It enables the user to alternate between 'Assault' and 'Sniper' modes depending on their environment and requirements. Primarily the weapon acts as a lightweight close-range Assault Rifle, but is able to automatically and conveniently convert into a medium-long range Sniper Rifle with computer-guidance laser triangulation capabilities. An on-board system allows the user to pin-point and lock-on to a designated target, where upon the built-in computer measures air particles passing through three invisible beams projected from the front of the weapon. The computer uses this information to calculate wind direction and velocity, resulting in it being able to provide the user with a more accurate alternative target for the shot, presented on the scope's viewfinder.

Lead designer on Dennis Liu's sci-fi short film 'Plurality'. Set in the near future, the story revolves around a team of enforcement agents who track 'Plurality' criminals illegally travelling back in time. The question is, how do you distinguish between who is from the present and who isn't? I was tasked with populating the near-future world with a plethora of Graphical User Interface (GUI) designs and various visual content.

Designed as a spiritual successor to the classic AC/Shelby Cobra. Being a great fan of the sixties icon, I wanted to produce a modern-day take on the legendary muscle-car that would capture it's true essence. The original car's flowing lines, combined with the bulging muscular forms, have sealed its mark in the hearts of many; it is truly unmistakable. My design received wide critical acclaim, and was showcased in a number of magazine articles.
