A 3D & 2D artist who enjoys each facet of bringing animations to life, on a path to continue developing my own visual style and voice.

I've always known I wanted to be an artist of some sort, but discovering where exactly I fit into the creative industry has been a lengthy journey. Whilst I'd started dreaming of working in the animation industry during high school, I was completely unaware of the actual career paths you could take and my uncertainty led me to pursue something more general. I studied and worked as a graphic designer until, in 2020, I decided I needed to try and pursue a career in animation.
