About

I’m a stop-motion animator specializing in character performance, focused on bringing emotional nuance and believable subtlety to every movement. I enjoy translating direction and script intent into puppet/character acting, so gestures, timing, and expression feel clear, natural, and story-driven. With an MA in Animation from the University of the West of England (UWE), I’ve built experience across short films, music videos, and commercial campaigns—handling everything from puppet/character craft to final post-production.

I’ve worked end-to-end on projects including full post workflow (compositing, editing, cleanup, and sound sync), and I’m comfortable collaborating closely with directors and editors to maintain visual and emotional continuity. I’ve also managed remote, single-project freelance engagements, and I bring a “done-with-care” mindset to the small details—whether it’s storyboard interpretation, dialogue/character performance, or polishing the final mix for release.
