Hi, I’m Daniel Wilson, a 2D animator and generalist from Ireland with a love for bold design and bold animation. I thrive on keeping a well-organised project file almost as much as I love pushing pixels and bringing ideas to life through motion. When I’m not animating, you’ll find me cruising windy paths on a longboard chasing after my energetic poodle. I bring energy, collaboration, and a positive mindset to every project, and I’m always excited to explore new techniques and storytelling approaches.
