About

Hi, I’m James Saunders, a postgraduate Animation student based in Hook, UK. I have hands-on experience in hospitality, communications, and fast-paced team environments, where I learned to stay organized and proactive under pressure while delivering reliable support to colleagues and customers.

I’m currently looking for freelancing work, having completed a BA (Hons) in Animation at the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham, and a Diploma in Art & Design and Media Practice. I enjoy turning ideas into moving images using tools like Maya, Blender, After Effects, and Photoshop, and I’m eager to contribute to creative projects in media, education, and entertainment.
