Career profile

I graduated from the UCA Farnham Animation BA in June 09 and now work as a freelance animation director and study at the National Film and Television School. I firmly believe the old adage, ‘find the right job and you never have to work a day in your life’ and love animation for that reason. Previously I’ve worked both freelance and within teams and in the future would like to work more within a small team in film/animation creating promo’s, commercials, stings and short film projects.
