    Bachelor or Arts in Animation, First Class HonoursUniversity of Derby
     - Derby, United Kingdom
    We experimented with the latest digital software, produced distinctive animations and gained the professional awareness needed for a future career. I have completed live briefs which challenged us to cater our style and choice of content to a clients needs. Each semester only allowed for a certain amount of time to complete a number of projects, making me experienced in handling deadlines. I pitched my ideas to peers through storyboards, animatics, and style sheets in order to get feedback and improve.
