I’m a passionate artist and designer with over 22 years’ experience across art, design, animation, and commercial creative industries. I’m a skilled professional with proven expertise in illustration, graphic design, animation, and digital design, producing both large- and small-format artwork for print and screen. At this stage in my career, I’m looking to prioritise opportunities closer to home. My transition from the animation industry into a more commercially focused role over the last two years has been valuable and eye-opening, and I’m keen to continue progressing while contributing strong creative and practical design solutions.
