Team

As co-founder/director of FloodSlicer, Daniel has overseen the growth of the firm from start-up to what is now, Australia's premier 3D rendering and animation company.

A multi award winning graduate of Architecture at the University of Melbourne Architecture School, Daniel has developed a unique and preeminent expertise in the animation of architecture and the creation of compelling virtual experiences.

His pioneering work in the late-nineties was instrumental in the growth of the visualisation industry, establishing an artistic credibility for then nascent technologies that eventually led to the co-founding of FloodSlicer. His emphasis on the integrity of design and 3D construction methodologies has resulted in a body of work that is defined by visual complexity and dramatic expressions of the photo-real.

Published by both industry and academia, Daniel has lectured all over Australia and globally. As Director of the company, Daniel's commitment to extending expectations of what is possible has set industry-defining benchmarks of quality, rigour and artistic flair.
