I am an art director and designer for animation from the East coast of Ireland. I began my career as a character animator before moving into design and art direction. I've also illustrated 4 picture books for children and worked on many side projects involving graphic design and visual identity. Since graduating with an animation degree in 2007 I've worked on numerous short and feature length films, tv shows and development projects. My most recent roles include; art director on a short film with the Cartoon Saloon in Ireland and production designer on two of their upcoming 2d feature films.
