With over 25 years of experience working within the creative industries, my experience ranges from 2D animation, 3D computer animation, interactive work and design in a variety of disciplines from children’s TV to computer games, interactives and design.

I started my academic career with a BA Hons in Illustration and Graphics from Edinburgh College of Art, followed by an MA in Animation at The Royal College of Art. This professional path led to diverse roles in the animation industry. Initially, I worked as a 2D animator in Sydney, Australia, contributing to children’s TV productions. Later, I ventured into interactive animation for Cartoon Network in London, where I worked on the series Power Puff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory. Later moving into 3D animation, I joined Sony Entertainment in London, working as a 3D animator on a wide variety of Sony computer games. My expertise also extended to children’s TV, where I engaged in 3D animation for ITV on a live action/3D computer animated series. Beyond entertainment, I have applied my design skills in the rail industry, working as a graphic designer/animator, as well as working for London based PR/Design ad agencies, creating design work for large brands like Canon, producing graphics and motion work.

My animation work has been showcased at various animation festivals across the UK and my graduation RCA film was bought and screened by Channel 4 in 1995.

Alongside my professional work, I have over 15 years experience lecturing at art schools throughout the UK. Here I have shared my expertise in animation and graphics at art schools such as, London College of Communication, Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts, Greenwich University, London Southbank University, Edinburgh, and Glasgow School of Art. I am currently a lecturer at Cambridge School of Art on the Animation & Illustration course and I am also the external examiner at Middlesex University on the animation and games course.

I am currently working on a drawing research project, this focuses on the ‘Power of the Community.’ My drawings are created from the documentation of communities and the strength and fragility of community ties. I have always had an interest in people, their connections and are fascinated by how people collaborate and live and work alongside each other. The themes of identity and belonging are central, with a focus on connecting with diverse individuals and hearing their stories. My previous artwork has emphasised documentation and a sense of place and this theme also runs within this current project.
