Since graduating with an Animation MA from the Royal College of Art, my practice has revolved around three inter-related fields: personal filmmaking, animation/special effects and teaching. In my short films, such as Sweet Salt, commissioned by Animate for Channel 4, I like to mix together animation and live action with deep layering and a love for texture.

Coming from a fine art background, Moving Image was the ideal medium as it combines all arts into one; My films have been screened in International Film Festivals such as Clermont-Ferrand and I have been happy to collaborate with other directors and artists through animation direction, compositing, special effects and project consulting.

Within Animation, my principal tool has been After Effects but in the last year I have been experimenting with 3D as well as returned to printmaking and drawing for inspiration. Film titles is a field I’m also involved in, and I’m currently in the research stage of a brilliant feature film title sequence - more news soon!

Through teaching I have sharpened my technical and narrative skills and have benefitted greatly from team work and ideas generation; working with large teams of fresh, driven minds is truly inspiring. I have been teaching at Central Saint Martins, LCC, Camberwell College of Arts, Westminster and other UK universities, as well as in Europe through courses and festival masterclasses.
