I'm an animator with 10 years experience in children's 2D animation and motion graphics. In 2025, I led a team of experienced animators through Peppa Pig’s 20th anniversary launch and the arrival of her new baby sister. On any production, my priority is to see teams thrive through helping each other’s workload and cooperating to solve technical issues and overcome episodic challenges. My strengths lie in overcoming challenges through technical know-how and problem solving challenging animation issues. My experience in animation revision has left me with a keen eye for technical problems and staying on model. Since 2024, I’ve been expanding my software tool set, learning Maya, Blender, and Unreal.…I'm an animator with 10 years experience in children's 2D animation and motion graphics.
