About

I’m a 2D animator and visual storyteller with a strong focus on character-led animation, character design, and expressive visuals. I enjoy building original characters, shaping their personalities through motion, and bringing scenes to life with clean 2D animation and thoughtful staging.

Alongside animation, I work on illustration and visual development—creating backgrounds, visual styles, and supporting elements like puppets and props. I’ve trained in specialised 2D and storyboard/visual development, and I’m also comfortable collaborating on production workflows while developing projects from concept through animated delivery.

A personal 2D animation showing Daisy preparing a bakery order in Blossom Bakery, part of my original world, Jellybeanworld. I created the character artwork, illustrated setting, props and animation. The sequence uses changes in pose and expression, together with interactions with packaging and objects, to tell a short story without dialogue. This project brings together my illustration and animation skills in a detailed, colourful setting.

An original bakery setting designed for my personal illustrated world, Jellybeanworld. I created the storefront, cake displays, signage, plants and surrounding scenery. Warm interior lighting and a pink-and-yellow palette give the bakery a welcoming atmosphere, while the props suggest the daily life of its characters. This piece demonstrates my approach to environment design, illustrated props, colour and visual storytelling.

A personal illustration featuring Daisy, my original rabbit character from Jellybeanworld, watering oversized flowers. I combined clean character outlines with painterly floral textures and a soft pastel palette to create a warm, playful scene. The illustration explores character posing, interaction with props and storytelling through a simple everyday action.

One More Step is a personal 2D animation featuring Daisy, an original character from my illustrated world, Jellybeanworld. The aim was to tell a short, playful story without dialogue. Daisy attempts to reach a strawberry by stacking objects, using expressive poses and reactions to communicate her determination and the outcome. I created the character artwork, illustrated environment and animation, bringing them together in Procreate Dreams. This project demonstrates my approach to character acting, visual storytelling and colourful, whimsical environments.
