I am a self-taught storyboard artist based in the UK who has been working professionally in animation and film and TV since 2020. I have worked with a wide range of studios such as Brown Bag Films, SNAFU Pictures and Wild Child Animation.
I work diligently to do my research and adapt to the needs of a new project quickly. I am skilled at providing a solid foundation of key posing, composition and staging for other departments to work from. I love the art of visual storytelling and producing whimsical, goofy characters that bring smiles to faces :) I am always training to perfect my craft and develop personal pieces, as well as collaborating with others.
