Drone

Blue Mountains based audio engineer, event organiser, drone pilot and musician. I got started in the creative industries while I was in high school volunteering at festivals, helping out at punk rock shows & producing the radio show Retro Rehash on RBM from 2017-2019. I started my professional career with KFM Media/Shelter Studio in 2019 where I still work today as a tech & in-house engineer at the Shelter Studio. To compliment my work there I also operate as a freelance audio/lighting engineer under the name 'Revy AV' working at several venues like Baroque Room & Station Bar in Katoomba, Fairmont Resort in Leura & the Ori in Springwood. While working in the industry I also studied and in 2023 I completed a Bachelor of Creative Industries at UWS with minors in audio production and public relations which gave me a much broader set of skills for my approach to my work. Throughout my career I have had a commitment to helping young artists. As a young musician, to have mentors & role models within the community to help realise my potential and forge my way in this industry was invaluable to me. So I see it as part of my role in this community to continue helping upcoming young artists. I have collaborated with Mountains Youth Services Team (MYST) on numerous projects, events and mentorship programs teaching young people how to record songs and set up live shows. In 2023 I ran a mentorship program that led into that years Winter Magic Festival where young people curated acts, set up and operated the audio and lighting for that year's youth stage. In 2024 I organised, curated and operated the Soul'd Out Youth Stage for the Winter Magic Indoors Festival collaborating with Dave from the Soul Side Cafe as well as MYST, RRT, Headspace and the ACRC. It was a massive weekend and one of my greatest achievements showcasing a whole day of young artists and a following day of local artists and regular performers at the Soul Side. In my spare time I am fascinated by aviation. I love learning about all things that go zoom and building model aircraft. So why not combine my love for flight and the creative industries? In 2022 I took the first step to do just that and got my RePL & AROC qualifications with a 25kg weight rating. So far I have only worked on one project as a drone pilot but it is of great interest to me and I see drones as being a large part of the future of the creative industries.

I'm an artist and designer working in the field of immersive and interactive media. I'm interested in the aesthetics of how people interact with virtual environments and what simulated realities can tell us about humanity. My research focuses on applications for immersive visualisation and experimental digital technologies to the preservation and interpretation of important cultural heritage sites, collections and museums. I'm interested in how we can use new media platforms to create new, embodied sensory experiences that allow us to understand heritage in innovative ways. I'm also interested in the mechanics of immersive design. My background is in art history and museums, and I work closely with the GLAM sector on digital conservation, exhibition design and interaction design projects.
