I’m a storyboard artist and visual designer with 12 years of experience across animation, games, interactive experiences and visual design. Most of my animation work has been in children’s and family content, including storyboarding, revisions, animatics, layout and background design.

I’m used to working closely with directors and creative leads, pitching ideas, discussing staging and timing, and developing sequences through feedback and revisions. I like the collaborative part of the process and finding visual solutions together, while keeping the production practical.
