Hi, I’m Rosie, an award-winning animator and artist based in Leeds, UK. I bring characters to life in immersive worlds at XR Games as a 3D Animator, and I’ve contributed to 8 shipped titles with IPs such as Angry Birds, Zombieland, Zombie Army and Starship Troopers. With a strong 3D generalist skillset—from rigging and modelling to guiding assets through the game engine pipeline—storytelling is at the heart of my work. I aim to heighten player immersion through thoughtful animation choices, whether in combat sequences, stealth moves, or subtle emotional moments, and I’m always hungry for new challenges and collaborations in VR, live performance, and beyond.
