I’m Isobel Timms, a character-focused 3D animator and commissioned artist with a love for bringing personality and expressive motion to my work. I enjoy developing characters and visual concepts, and I also like painting miniatures and creating detailed artwork—from small, realistic textures to vibrant scenes. Alongside animation, I’ve gained hands-on experience working with production processes and creative teams, including matching lip-sync to audio and iterating quickly to meet project needs. Outside of work, I recharge through hiking, exploring scenic places, gaming, baking, and reading fantasy and adventure novels—always keeping creativity and detail at the center of how I work.
