I am a highly motivated and driven recent graduate from Falmouth University with a First Class Honours in Animation and a passion for bringing 3D characters to life through animation. I currently work as a Junior Technical Designer at Advanced Electronics Ltd, creating 3D product animations for in-house displays and global trade shows, as well as digital graphics for company newsletters and social media. During my degree I collaborated on multiple films, strengthening my technical and leadership skills. I’m also building an animation account on TikTok, creating Formula 1 animations in the Cars style using characters I modelled, rigged, and textured—one clip has over 330,000 views.
