Hello! I’m Amy, a freelance illustrator, animator, and motion designer from Adelaide, Australia. I’ve worked on everything from commercials and explainer videos to film titles and design-driven projects.
I’m passionate about storytelling and enjoy being involved in every stage of the creative process - from concept and storyboarding to animation and compositing. When I’m not animating, you’ll likely find me sketching, illustrating, or experimenting with new visual styles.
If you’d like to collaborate or just say hi, feel free to reach out!

-About
This project was for Relationships Australia QLD, who needed a cute, playful character to help connect with a younger audience. The character would be used across their learning services, advertising and website, acting as a simple way to show the different emotions someone might feel.
During the concept and design phase, we explored 27 variations to nail down the style: a rounded soft body, little outlined hands and feet, and a messy scribble of hair that instantly showed the emotion the character was feeling. Once we locked in those traits, I illustrated 25 emotional poses ranging from sad and frustrated to jumping for joy. From that set, we selected five key emotions to animate and bring to life.
