As long as I can remember, I have been intrigued with animation and storytelling, to the point I have always doodled sequences in my spare time. I love every part of animation production that I am excited to do anything, but my favourite is storyboarding.
My passion has bubbled since childhood for animation, having started from the simplicity of making crude animatics to songs I liked in powerpoint, and such interactive programs as “The Simpsons Animation Studio”. This developed to drawing sequences to other music on paper in small boxes, not realising I was storyboarding ideas a lot doing so. This led to where my heart lies, pre-production of films. I just love to write, design, visualise… you name it!
My aims for the future? Just to do any aspect of animation! I love it all a lot, so much so I am not bothered what I end up doing or what type of animation it is. As long as I am helping to produce works to entertain, I am happy.
Besides film, my interests include: writing, drawing, crafts, tsum tsums, singing, nail art, and robots…especially those of the transforming variety!
