At Backstage Services, I created poster adverts for industrial wear and PPE, designed catalogues, and edited product imagery for catalogue and website use. I also researched, scripted, filmed, and edited video content, and created short Instagram reels.

At Chocolate Tribe VFX Studio, I created 2D character and environment artwork for an animated series. For a VW advert, I modelled, textured, animated, lit, and rendered a two-second scene featuring a giant jumping castle.

As a freelance animator/generalist at AnimMate, I cleaned up shots in After Effects and created still imagery for medical adverts. I also used Blender and KeenTools GeoTracker to track objects in 3D space for logo placement.
