Biography

I’m an early career British-Nigerian animator, winner of a RTS Southern Craft Award (2021), winner of the CMC’s Pitching Session (2023) and Creator of an anime-inspired children’s series co-developed with the BBC on the Ignite Scheme. Through being a Creator I have experience creating concept art and designing characters to represent my shows in development.

I’m passionate about channelling my voice and values into my craft. I’ve worked as a freelance 2D / 3D Animation Generalist for branded content and broadcast production. My responsibilities have covered all aspects of the CG pipeline from layout to animation and rendering. I’m highly competent in various software such as After Effects, Cinema 4D and Photoshop. 

I want to develop my technical skills and industry knowledge (particularly in storyboarding for TV). One day I hope to become a director.
