Available to hire
I am a passionate and ambitious 2D animator and character designer with over 8 years of experience in the animation industry. I have gained a strong knowledge of the animation pipeline and understand the importance of communication between animators, illustrators, creative directors, and project managers in order to succeed on a project.
I have worked on many projects including a long-term series called The R3cusants, BBC Bite-size animations, adverts for companies such as Durham Fire Safety and Mitigate, and various pitch projects for Cartoon Network and Netflix.
