Biography
With 8 years of experience, I have worked across multiple different projects in animated shorts, series and features.
I started my career by shipping myself off to Tokyo, apprenticing under industry veteran Yoshikatsu Matsumoto while employed at Polygon Pictures.
Following my time in Japan I travelled around the world while occasionally basing myself in Iceland as a freelancer working for Passion Pictures, Netflix and Flying Bark. I worked across disaplines starting with bluesky visual development all the way through to compositing the matte paintings I created.
In 2024 I had the honour of working full time in London as a senior background artist at Hanna-Barbera Europe. During my time in the bustling metropolis I designed new locations and provided high quality background art for The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. Proximity to the vast animation networks and pitching at Warner Brothers kickstarted my interest developing my own animated projects and pitches.
Currently I am based in Munich working as a freelance Visual Developement artist and Background Artist for animation. I have also worked on smaller projects locally provind illustration work.
My passion is in experimenting with interesting new techniques and bringing more life and movement to my work. I am deeply interesting in sculpting in VR and creating digital sets in blender.
