Hi there! I'm Jack, a recent graduate from the University of Sunderland where I studied animation and games art. I primarily work in traditional 2D animation but also have experience in 3D animation and character design. I have a strong passion for creating animations and enjoy the character creation process as well as storytelling. In any project, I bring problem solving, time management, and communication skills to the table, especially when working with teams. I love telling inspiring and memorable stories through my work and always strive to give my fullest potential to every project.
