Hello!

Nice to meet you! I am a Motion Designer, 2D Animator and Video Editor, with an affection for playful animation and giant animals. Originally from Brighton UK, I am now based in London. With over 6 years of industry experience, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some wonderful studios and talented folks, which include Blinkink, Nexus, Strange Beast, Duke & Duck, Mighty Oak, Sentiospace and We Are Fruition.

In 2018, I graduated with first class honours from Kingston School of Art, Illustration Animation BA(Hons) and have since been working full-time on a freelance basis.

From 2018-2021 I lived in Berlin, Germany, where I joined a small studio as a freelancer and cut my teeth working on a wide variety of motion based projects, from 2D animation to motion design to video editing. Today, I’m happy working across all parts of the production pipeline!

Outside of motion, I can be found gaming late in the night, trying to keep my plants alive and writing comics about a tiny horse.

Did You Say Comics?

If you’re here, it’s likely for animation! Beyond my work in animation, I am huge creator (and consumer!) of comics and other sequential-based projects. One of my most beloved passion projects is my weekly webcomic, Small Horse & Dog. The best place to check out my recent comics is on Instagram.
