Following my graduation this year I was approached to direct and
animate a 260 second video for Wizard Sleeve, a heavy metal band.
Through this project I really developed my animation process and
streamlined my work-flow to come into line with the clients deadline.
Interests and hobbies
I am an avid cyclist and have taken part in the BHF London to Brighton
bike ride for the last 2 years, raising money for charity. I have a keen
interest in current affairs and enjoy making political cartoons. I also en-
joy painting and photography, experimenting with both when I have time
and try to bring inspiration from them both into my normal practice.
