I have a thorough understanding of 2D animation principles and the production pipeline. I am eager to learn new animation software and techniques and can adapt well in various environments. I enjoy collaborating with others but I am also confident working on solo projects. I have good time management skills and know how to prioritise workloads. I can identify and execute customer requirements by listening and communicating effectively through various channels. I enjoy working through complex tasks to obtain a successful outcome for all. When I'm able to get some downtime from being a parent, I like to work on my personal project, creating a pre-production pack, animating, compositing and colouring Jock and Haggis. I also enjoy impersonating, recording and manipulating voices and occasionally like to bowl, play pool and hit up the arcade.
