About

I am a 2D animator, background artist and concept artist based in Cardiff. I work both traditionally and digitally in a variety of styles and above all I am passionate about storytelling that connects to people. I’ve worked on short films, animated music videos, book covers and children’s book illustrations. When not drawing, I enjoy going to concerts, customising clothing and reading graphic novels. One day soon I’d like to publish my own.
