About me

2018 graduate from MA Character Animation at Central Saint Martins in London and now award-winning animation director. My film 'My Mother's Eyes' won Best Animated Short at Tribeca Film Festival 2019. Using 2D hand-drawn animation with thick brushstrokes, minimal backgrounds and abstract character designs, I aim to create beautiful and moving storytelling.
