Winner in the Animation category for the RTS London Student Awards 2020 and nominated in the Animation category for the RTS National Student Awards 2020.

I’m a London/Kent based storyteller and animator. I primarily work with digital frame-by-frame animation but love experimenting with all types of animation. My practice revolves around themes of self-love, often delving into contentious topics such as gender, freedom and self perception. I mix analogue and digital techniques and often use a free, spontaneous approach to my practice to correlate with my themes. The characters that I create and the environments they interact with are often influenced by relatable experiences, which I find the audience can empathise with. I find that injecting humour into my work is an effective medium to help contrast the sometimes heavy topics I choose to explore. Animation is the perfect medium to explore these topics due to how playful, engaging and fun it can be.
