Animation
As an animator, I create short films that have emotional storylines and powerful messages, with the aim of encouraging positive action within education, and towards social causes and climate conservation. Employed as a Creative at Content Creatures animation studio, I have trained in animation, motion graphics and using video footage, and worked on a number projects, from storyboarding through to the final delivery, for clients around the world.

‘Wrinkles’
2023
Personal Project
This animation is a semi-autobiographical story and visual interpretation of dementia, inspired by my experiences living with my grandma. In a world of fragmented memories of home and feelings of detachment, the most special moments are the simplest moments of being together and learning to find a feeling of acceptance through the wrinkles of life and wrinkles in time.
‘Sonic Boomers’
2022
Client: Sound Waves Foundation
My role included idea generation, storyboarding, producing character designs, style frames and the final frame-by-frame animation using Procreate and iMovie.
Through the eyes of an 8-year-old deaf child, Luna, who aspires to become an astronaut, ‘Sonic Boomers’ sensitively shows the struggles of mainstream education, and how live speech-to-text captions is a life-changing solution that improves access to learning for deaf children and for many others with learning difficulties.
My personal aim for this animation is that deaf children, young girls, people of colour and all children with dreams can see themselves in Luna, feel empowered and know that they can achieve anything.
‘Action for Captions’
2022
Client: Sound Waves Foundation
My role included idea generation, storyboarding, producing character designs, style frames and the final frame-by-frame animation using Procreate and iMovie.
This animation follows a middle-school deaf boy who faces feelings of complete loss in class without access to words. It showcases the easy and accessible solution of live speech-to-text captions, that closes the learning gap, throughout the crucial years of education.
‘Boiling Frogs’
2021
Personal Project
My role included idea generation, producing the concept art, the frame-by-frame animation and sound.
This animation is based on the metaphor of the 'Boiling Frog', to raise awareness of the effects of warming temperatures and share the message to take individual action for climate conservation.
