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!
