Skills
I'm currently a student studying Animation & Illustration at UCA. I love all forms of storytelling but I particularly enjoy creating graphic novels and short films involving stop motion or hand drawn illustration. I've been living independently as a freelance illustrator for 4 years earning money through commissions mostly revolving around character art and animations for other indie storytellers across the worls.

My first live brief to work on was a group project working for Seadog books to design a wine and book shop based in the Turner in Margate. My job within the group was to produce animations for the company to use, including an animated logo, projections to decorate the shop walls and a window display.
