SkareMedia

After working as a Web Developer / Animator in Melbourne for the past 5 years I decided it was time to do a bit of travelling. Now I am currently traveling the world while completing a Project 365 and working on personal projects. In my spare time I dabble in Photography, Animation, Experimental Filming, Music, Street Art, Projection Mapping, Sculpture, Interactive Installations, Web Development & anything else that sparks my interest.
