HI CHOCS TEAM

Welcome to my humble bid to become a player on your awesome team.
You will find below a little about me, examples of my work & some of my trophies.

I know it feels we might be a world apart, however I know that with our combined wizard powers (aka fast internet and cloud based editing), we can find a way to create some amazing stories together.
