I have been a passionate professional 2D animator for 9 years specialising in ToonBoom Harmony animation and rigging. Since completing my masters in Animation Production, I have been contracted to work as a Character Animator in various fast-paced high demand series production environments. For example Brum the animated series; https://youtu.be/W9UU4z4LB5M. A Character Animator for Nessy Learning; https://youtu.be/tTQbNmAXAIw?si=4EouUzDZSL1UEGIz. Both these productions gave me experience using rigs in various different programs such as, Toonboom, Adobe Animate and After Effects and reinforced my understanding of the principles of 2D animation and perspective. Additional projects include work as a Producer on student animated films; https://youtu.be/BXR_WJa_yz0?si=iqXRLrssb_rBc2Sp. Which gave me an appreciation of the behind-the-scenes management and communication required for an animated multi-media production and I've worked as the sole animator on a short animated kickstarter video called Monster Peppers; https://youtu.be/hViiCWpTpm8?si=6YNW9MNnGNSPSvvH. Most recently I worked with Purrnelope's Country Club as the Lead Artist/Animator; https://www.purrnelopescountryclub.com/. In this job some of my work was briefly put up in New Times Square, New York. Working through these various productions gave me the opportunity to learn to adapt to various animation and art styles and required a high amount of attention and care for details. All these professional positions have given me the ability to work within given quotas and timeframes using briefs and client deadlines to keep an efficient animation pipeline. As a result I'm more confident in my abilities regardless of the requirements of the assignment.

Independently I am constantly working on my own concepts and animated projects usually for no monetary gain. This can be fan work, such as the various "fanimatics" I've created of moments from the tabletop liveplay series Critical Role; https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDi82c7FnTiDVQEUvrzRdZJFi3iE7hheM. Or personal projects like my independently produced pilot series 100 Worlds Away; https://youtu.be/AT66f9a32p4?si=sDtjoKM-55lQbjo5. I have also taken part in various animation related training programs such as The Sun and Moon ToonBoom rigging course in which I learnt the skills needed to create my own rigs in ToonBoom and have taken that knowledge onwards to create rigs for a project I am working on currently. Beyond all of that I have also attended many animation or animation adjacent events around the UK including the Flatpack Film Festival, Bring Your Own Animation; Bristol, Manchester Animation Festival, Cardiff Animation Festival etc etc that allowed me to connect to many working within this field.
