About me

Hello! I'm a 2D artist with over 12 years experience working within animation and VFX. I work primarily in digital 2D, but have additional knowledge of compositing, animating, model-making and traditional drawing & painting. I have a keen eye for detail, textures and lighting, a passion for visual storytelling and adapt to styles well. I enjoy working collaboratively to achieve high-end results and am always excited to learn and grow as an artist, taking on new challenges and diversifying my skills into other areas of visual design. Please see below for an overview of my work history and contact details.

Thanks for looking!
