Available to hire
I am a motivated and accomplished 2D animator and character designer, with studio experience in compositing and scene build. I’ve also worked on short films and children’s book illustration projects. I enjoy collaborations and team-working and use creativity for problem-solving as well as producing artwork. Outside of work, I have a stand in Artist’s Alley at most London Comic Cons and have secured a loyal fan base for my original merchandise designs available from my Etsy shop: AimeeNationCreations.
