Dynamic Animator and Motion Designer passionate about visual storytelling.

United Kingdom

What I'm looking for

I seek a creative environment that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my skills.

I am a dynamic Animator, Motion Designer, Illustrator, and Graphic Designer with a passion for visual storytelling. Whether I'm creating engaging animations, designing eye-catching graphics, or illustrating popping visuals, I love a good creative challenge and producing impactful content from it.

My expertise spans both animated and static media, allowing me to bring ideas to life across multiple platforms. With an unwavering commitment to artistic innovation, I am always eager to push creative boundaries and deliver the necessary work that captures the viewer and delivers. My recent projects include the release of my animated short film “Hamageddon,” where I oversaw the entire creative pipeline, and my work as an Animation Residency Director at Media Active, where I animated and directed a short film displayed publicly.
