I'm an experimental animator and model maker with a BA Hons degree in CG Art & Animation, and a Masters degree in Animation specialising in Stop Motion character animation and Puppet Making.
I've worked in London advertising studios as an animator, compositor and editor, then became a university lecturer in CG Animation, and now I've shifted paths to get my Masters Degree and focus on personal creative work alongside freelancing.
I've made numerous animated music videos under my own name and my two previous short films have been screened at over 25 films festivals world wide. My film 'Mothers Days' won the Audience Choice Award at New Designers.
