Available to hire
I am a recent Illustration with Animation graduate from Manchester Metropolitan University, focused on creating unique character and world-driven 2D hand-drawn animations. I enjoy developing work through both illustration and animation, building visuals from character design through to motion and pacing.
I’m proactive and committed to my practice, using tools such as Adobe Creative Suite and TV Paint to bring ideas to life. I’m looking for a job where I can gain experience, collaborate with others, and demonstrate my creativity across animation and mixed-media workflows.
