I am a 2025 graduate of the University of the West of England (UWE) with a first class Bachelor's degree in animation. I have a confident understanding of industry-standard digital programmes such as ToonBoom Harmony, Adobe Animate and Procreate. I am interested in developing a career as a background painter, 2D animator, and visual development artist. During my studies, I created short surrealist films which helped me gain valuable animation skills and insight into the animation pipeline. I have experience working collaboratively as well as independently, demonstrated through projects completed both at university and during my Erasmus program in Budapest. I am adaptable to different styles and audiences, and I work to ensure my animations meet high professional standards.
