Biography

*Please email me at [email protected] for NDA portfolio password!* I'm a 21 year old story and design artist in his final year at university, directing a graduation film called 'Cortex' alongside a team of 7 artists. As an accomplished tap dancer and my experience as a former Team GB member, being a three time tap dance world champion sparked my drive as a cooperative, adaptable, open minded, and a focused hard worker who loves creative challenges. This has allowed me to always be willing to be flexible as a team player and be equally good at working independently, as well as gaining a strong understanding about performance, movement and staging which are all transferable skills as a story artist.
