"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. "

Hi, my name is Lieke and I am a Freelance animator and illustrator. I have had the opportunity to work on a couple of cool projects, animated shorts, TV and YouTube series. No matter how big or how small the project, I look for that little bit of magic in everything I do. For me, visual storytelling is all about sharing, so I am happiest when I can share my experiences and creations with colleagues, friends and whoever is willing to listen.
