I'm a recent 2D animation graduate based in the UK, who's excited to see where my professional career will lead. I have three years experience combining hand-drawn and rigged animation to complete client work, as well as producing four films of my own. Through my work, I aim to create animations that resonate with people through thought-provoking and conscientious storytelling. I love to experiment with the unique aesthetic potential of 2D animation to create work that feels cutting-edge despite animation's rich, diverse history. I'm excited by the prospect of collaborating with fellow creatives. Inspiring and being inspired by varied ideas and techniques from other artists, allowing me to continuously learn and develop artistically in ways I never could individually.
