About
I’m a 2D/3D animator and character designer currently completing my MA Animation at Ulster University. I enjoy bringing stories to life through strong fundamentals of animation, thoughtful character design, and detailed concept art—then supporting the final look with tools like Maya, Blender, Krita, Photoshop, Unreal Engine, and After Effects.
I’ve built hands-on experience through university team projects, including leading a 3D animation and editor role for our 2026 MA showcase piece, as well as volunteering with Cinemagic to support the creation of a short live-action film. I’m energetic, collaborative, and detail-focused, and I value clear communication and adaptability so I can keep improving my artwork and animation work.
