Archer Hodges

Hi, my name is Archer and I am a first-class graduate from the University of Hertfordshire, with a BA degree in Model Making: Special Effects. All my life I have been fixated on creative design, and I am constantly seeking means of exploring new ideas and concepts. I love being a model maker because every project is different to the last, meaning I am constantly adapting and learning. I also enjoy being able to work alongside other creative individuals where I can build strong relationships with clients and collaborators.

I believe it is my attention to detail and ingenuity that sets my work apart, and I take pride in the way I treat every new task with confidence and enthusiasm. My goal is to exceed expectations by delivering exquisite work ahead of schedule and under budget.
