I've been working in the animation industry as an FX artist for about 7 years now, but it feels like a lot less! In that time I worked almost exclusively with European studios, but I'm branching out now further afield. I'm self-taught when it comes to FX and am always looking to improve. Having studied as an animation generalist, I never actually planned to end up in the FX department, but I'm really glad I did. It's a challenging field, full of super interesting people, and the atmosphere is electric!
