I’m a budding artist who specializes in stop motion and 2D animation with an appreciation for any kind of artistic technique and with a strong passion for animation ever since I used to watch animated films as a kid. Since studying at Birmingham City University, I learned how to use software programs such as After Effects and Premiere Pro as well as animation software like Dragonframe and Toon Boom to create my diverse body of work. I am a hard-working and creative practitioner who wishes to expand on my skillset by working on various artistic projects that will broaden my artistic talents.
