Position Statement

I am an animator, illustrator, and general creative person based in Leeds. I am a generalist animator with experience with all forms of animation while predominantly focusing on digital 2D and live action filming. I am also experience with video and audio editing. Through my craft i strive to immerse the audience into my world by telling captivating stories. For me shot framing and non verbal communication are as important to a story as the dialogue itself, I champion this approach in my own work. I also pride myself in my versatility, while i work predominantly in 2D i have skills in 3D and stop motion as well. My creative philosophy for animation is that everything goes towards producing an effective story, if the story works better with a digital 3D aesthetic then that will be the type of animation i strive to make. My passion lies in animation catered to adults and i hope to eventually work internationally, particularly in America and Japan in order to understand the cultural elements and methods of producing animation for adults. I aim to channel the successful elements of international animation in my own practice in the UK animation industry. My previous experience includes producing animation for Light Night, and working with independent musicians to create music videos. I have also collaberated with professional illustrators and graphic designers in the past to create an ad campaign for The Marine Stewardship Council.
