Aero Illustrations was established to provide quality technical illustrations and diagrams for the aviation and publishing industries.

Originally trained as an industrial designer, I worked in design consultancies for 10 years before specialising in technical illustration. During this time I gained a solid background in mechanics and basic engineering, and developed a keen understanding of all aspects of design.

Since early childhood I’ve had a passion for aeroplanes. Over the years I have been privileged to be able to share my enthusiasm by participating in the restoration of the Australian War Memorial’s DH9, contributing to historical aviation societies and illustrating various publications including over 60 books.
