I’m Maxwell Sharpe, a Sydney-based animation professional who enjoys bringing stories to life through character and rig-based work, with a strong focus on 3D animation for children’s media. I like turning complex pipelines into smooth, repeatable workflows—whether that’s optimizing rigging and animation processes with scripts or collaborating with an industry-standard team. Alongside my animation work, I’ve built a solid foundation through teaching and training, where I helped others learn 3D film production workflows using Autodesk Maya. I’m also comfortable supporting production from different angles, including general 3D skills across modeling and animation, as well as hands-on experience working in fast-paced environments that taught me to stay organized, responsive, and detail-focused.
