I’m a newly graduated animator with a BA (Hons) in Animation from the University of Gloucestershire (Upper Second). I specialise in 2D frame-by-frame animation and storyboarding, with experience across the full animation pipeline and strong skills in software like TVPaint, Krita, OpenToonz and the Adobe Creative Suite. Alongside my animation practice, I’ve built teamwork and communication strengths through group film project work and collaborative production tasks, and I enjoy fast-paced creative environments where I can problem-solve, take feedback on board and help deliver work to deadline.…I’m a newly graduated animator with a BA (Hons) in Animation from the University of Gloucestershire (Upper Second).
