Sam has worked in the industry for over a decade now and helped out in pretty much every role in the an animation pipeline. He is a classic cartoon fan and will do anything he can to work on silly little animations that make people smile.

Originally from London, England, Sonia moved to Kilkenny, Ireland back in 2015. She worked on both film and a tv pipeline, ranging from pre-school to early teens. Sonia used to be an animator but then found her passion in rigging around her fourth year in the industry; 10 years so far and counting. She's mainly working in a TV pipeline though because she does find the fast pace of it more exciting.

"I am a 2D rigging artist situated in Manchester, UK. I've been very fortunate to have been in the industry for eight years, working on amazing animated shows for studios like Brown Bag Films, Fourth Wall and Factory Create. In my first job in the industry, I was lucky to collaborate with the rigging department and became interested in knowing how to rig a character or prop in Toon Boom. Since then, I have learnt more about my craft, and I get inspired by other riggers who push 2D rigging to its fullest potential. The thing I enjoy the most about being a 2D rigging artist is seeing the rigs I make being brought to life by animators. It still always baffles my mind. I aspire to develop my 2D rigging skills further to teach students how to rig in Toon Boom Harmony. "
