Hi, I'm Jared Kneale-Williams, an enthusiastic animation student specializing in character animation, storytelling, and visual design. I'm passionate about turning ideas into lively visuals, from animated logos to book covers for children's authors, and I enjoy collaborating with local artists and communities. During my degree I built strong hands-on experience with industry tools like Toon Boom Harmony, After Effects, and Maya, and I thrive in creative teams. Outside of study, I volunteer, mentor prospective students as a Student Ambassador, and have worked in hospitality, all of which sharpen my communication, organisation, and problem-solving skills.
