Disney Apprenticeship 2018
Ralph Breaks the Internet
My first big screen credit, working under the legend Jon Krummel, I got to join the Disney team as an Environment Modeler
Peter Pan Ride- Tokyo DisneySea
I was part of the modeling team that created the 3D imagery for this ride that will take guests on a wild ride “to chase Captain Hook and his crew of pirates who have captured Wendy’s younger brother”.
2018 Disney Caricature Show
I entered with some embroidered portraits of my friends and fellow modelers. I got a lot of compliments on the fact it hadn’t been seen before in the show. Which humored me
Getting crowned with our Mickey Ears!
Many thanks to my Mentor Eric Provan for both being an amazing teacher and also very kind.

I joined the Disney Choir and had a blast- Go Altoids
Frozen 2
After Ralph I got to move onto the Frozen 2 team and worked mostly on props and vegetation. My highlight model probably being the ice canoe, but I have a soft spot for the monkshood. I didn’t realize the petals were going to be with Olaf’s snow pile until the premiere… where I was seated in front of Josh Gad…. ask me about that whole story sometime.
It’s hilarious
Jing Hua
At the tail end of my apprenticeship at Disney I was asked to join the team to bring the world of Jing Hua to life.
I had two weeks left at the studio, and that was all the time I had to model the entire environment and props..... twice, since I finally got concept art the end of week one.
This project has a very special place in my heart and I hope everyone gets to see it on Disney+
