Awards

Adobe Top Talent AwardAdobe
I was given this award by Adobe for a couple of projects I submitted for a competition they were running at the time. I had entered my short animated film as well as a series of illustration works. Both projects were recognised and were both given separate awards for their respected category. I was also very lucky to be invited to attend Adobe Max as a one of the representatives for the Top Talent finalists.
