About

Hello! It’s lovely to meet you, my name is Jack and I am an Animation Production graduate from Arts University Bournemouth with a burning passion for character design and anything in children’s media!

I am very enthusiastic for anything fantasy, whimsical or spooky, with a keen eye for adding small, purposeful details. I love bringing energetic, diverse characters to life and telling their stories in every way I can!

I am a natural problem solver, devote time and energy to honing my skills and am a ace team player. You can find my portfolio here: artofjackturner.wixsite.com/portfolio

Thank you for your time and consideration!
