About & Contact
Hey there! I'm a current student of BA (Hons) Animation Production at Arts University Bournemouth. I specialize in 2D environment and creature design for animation. I grew up on Lord of The Rings, so I always love a rich fantastical world, no matter the medium.I also love stop-motion animation - my favourite film is currently the 2020 Pinocchio directed by Guillermo del Toro.Outside of work, I love Dungeons & Dragons and learning about sundry animals. I always have a fun fact at the ready!For questions regarding my portfolio or availability (or if you want to say hello), send me a message at [email protected]!
