I specialise in character and creature animation because I love the satisfaction of bringing an inanimate rig to life and giving it its own personality. You can create such huge, meaningful stories from a few poses, facial expressions, and some lighting (among other disciplines), and there's something so magical about that!

Little Pirates was my first group project, and I was nervous about doing a good job in a leadership position. There were definitely mistakes I made and things I could've done better, but the moment my team and I sat and saw our creation for the first time, it created an immense sense of pride I had never felt before. The same goes for Ongo, a project that challenged me to take initiative and learn techniques and software I had never previously used.

Ideally, I would like to jump straight into the industry as an animator, but I think my dream is to one day own and manage my own animation studio alongside other passionate creatives.
