I love creating fun, quirky characters, 2D assets, and backgrounds, and I enjoy emulating different styles to produce engaging visuals for animation and game projects. My education includes a Foundation Year in Art & Design and a BDes (Hons) in Animation with a placement year from Ulster University. I've worked as an Art Director, Art Manager, and 3D Modeler at Rocket Flairs Studios, and I freelance across portraiture, prop design, and game asset creation.
