I’m an experienced character animator with over 20 years in the industry, working across a wide range of series and projects. I’ve led animation teams and managed my own scene allocations to a very high standard, and I’m known for my high quality, dedication, and friendly, collaborative approach. I’m highly proficient in Toon Boom, Adobe Animate, and CelAction, and I’m committed to delivering top-tier animation work while staying approachable and easy to work with. In 2012 I entered a Red Bull animation competition and was voted into the top ten entries out of hundreds. In 2009 my husband and I entered a short Flash animated film called ‘Squish’ in a Pixar Animation competition, which was judged by Pete Docter and a team of Animation Directors and artists working on ‘Up’. We won the competition and the prize was an all-expenses-paid trip to San Francisco to visit the Pixar studios and meet the Pixar team.
