What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative studio environment that values creativity and innovation.

I am a creative and driven animator and concept artist with four years of education in the field. My journey began with a BA Hons in Animation and Games Art, where I honed my skills in various animation techniques and storytelling. I am eager to work in a studio that shares my passion for the craft, and I am excited to develop my transferable skills further during my time in the industry.

Throughout my experience, I have worked on several projects, including stop motion puppet making and illustration for various clients. My role in the Sunderland Shorts Film Festival allowed me to engage with the community while showcasing my artistic abilities. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy stepping in to help my team whenever needed, ensuring that we deliver high-quality work that meets the vision of our directors.
