Learn how to make industry ready 3D assets. From hard surface props to production ready creatures.

About me

The fastest way to grow is to learn directly from someone who’s already walked the path.

For 15 years, David has worked at the cutting edge of VFX, advertising, and previs in London — collaborating with world-class studios and creative leaders. Along the way, he’s built a wealth of experience that most people take decades to acquire.

Now, he’s opening that knowledge to you. With tailored feedback and mentorship focused on your unique goals, David will help you accelerate your career, avoid costly mistakes, and position yourself for the opportunities you really want.

Services provided

Whether you’re polishing your first portfolio or leveling up your skills, I’m here to help. Using industry-standard tools like ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Substance Sampler, and Photoshop, I’ll guide you through modeling and texturing workflows with feedback tailored to your goals.

If you’ve already started your journey but feel stuck, this mentorship is designed to move you forward. Together, we’ll refine your reel, strengthen your portfolio, and highlight the kind of work that makes studios take notice. You’ll gain confidence not just in creating quality assets, but in understanding how they fit into a real production pipeline — showing that you can deliver as a reliable team player.

Reach out for a one-off session, ongoing mentorship, or even just a quick chat to see how we can work together.
