I am both artistic and academic with multiple skills, able to contribute creatively and educationally, whether as an individual contractor or part of a larger organisation. Skilled in traditional and digital creative media, I enjoy working on illustration, concept art, game design, animation, and character design. As a trained academic tutor in English, I can teach, write and supervise literacy from primary school to post-graduate level. More recently I have become involved in multiple roles as an AI educator. I’m also a huge animal lover, and much of my work and passion centers on animals and their complex relationships with humans. I am versatile and adaptable to suit various roles within the creative and academic fields I engage in.
