I am a freelance 2D animator and illustrator who has been working with various clients over the last few years. Some of these include Territory Studios, Velvet Media, Damn Fine Media and the University of London. From creating educational animated tutorials to advertisements, I am able to work flexibly and utilise my skills to find the best quality solution to a project. With strong drawing skills, I have been able to assist in other areas such as illustration and storyboarding for previous projects.
I always enjoy meeting new people and discussing ideas so please feel free to reach out :)
