Available to hire
Hi, I’m Poppy Clemson, a 2D animator specializing in Toon Boom Harmony. I’m passionate about cartoon styles with squash and stretch and I love thinking outside the box to generate many ideas.
I’m a people’s person who collaborates well with others but can also work independently to follow instructions. I bring expressive, creative ideas to a team and aim to contribute positively to every project.

Travel Trouble is a 2D animated short film I directed as my final university project. This was a project of pure love and the passion I have for creating animation, characters, and stories using characters and locations I have been developing for over a decade now.
The short follows an anxiety ridden cat, Pipnip, in a desperate hurry to his doctors appointment in constant fear of being late. He is followed by a flying alarm clock, Irritimer, who is a representation of all Pipnip’s thoughts and stress in a physical form constantly putting stress onto him.
