    I was initially hired by Brown Bag Films to work on the development of 2d Flash based animation tailored for an adult audience. Some of my tasks and accomplishments include: • Solely animated, edited and soundtracked 24 minute pilot episode for an adult comedy, which was subsequently commissioned for a full series. • Acted as animation director and production designer on the series (Newsbag), which was broadcast on 3e in Ireland. • Designed all characters and backgrounds for the series. Controlled the overall look of the show and visual comedy. • Directed a team of 5 animators to ensure a consistent and suitable animation style and took on any overflow animation and compositing work. • Worked closely with head writer, was involved in writers’ room and table reads and contributed to creative ideas. • Created show promos for pitches to US broadcasters. Following the production of Newsbag I have taken on a number of roles in Brown Bag’s development department ranging from 2D concept design, animation tests, animation composition, video editing, creating promos and working as an additional 2D artist on Brown Bag’s newest pre-school show Bing Bunny.
