Introduction
I'm Jaz, a creative from the island of Guernsey, I specialize in digital works,
with every project teaching me something new. My favourite kinds of projects
are ones that increase my understanding of principles, processes, and software!
I've always had an obsession with creating, even as a young child. From the classic Lego stop-motion and tutorials filmed with Unregistered Hypercam 2,
all the way up to my role as a Tech Production Artist at Specsavers, problem solving and creativity have always been passions of mine.

Personal Skills
01
Cereal Monday
A deeply heartfelt and personal project, revealing light within darkness and joy in life's uncertain transitions. These three paintings and additional polaroids encapsulate the soul of the night walk—its serene, dreamlike essence touching the spirit, like the cool embrace of dewy grass beneath bare feet.
01
Procedural SKU Shader
A custom Blender node group that serves as an independent shader for the wide range of materials used in Specsavers glasses, from translucent acetate to brushed metal, with volumetric features for a customizable tortoiseshell material. And yes, tortoises were harmed in the creation of this project.
01
Welcome to Cobo Bay
This collection of posters was made to personalize meeting rooms renamed after Channel Islands beaches. I designed
the Cobo Bay poster, with each Specsavers Studio artist adding their unique touch to their own. It was super duper fun, and I loved adding a unique underwater spin to mine.
01
Tropospheric Volumetrics
A super fun learning process that helped to improve my skills when creating clouds. This was always something I had struggled with previously, so it was a no-brainer. Side note,
I think I developed a strong fear of suddenly falling upwards and suffocating in space while making these.
