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!

Sarah began her career as an animator in 2019, and in 2020, she transitioned into rigging. Since then, Sarah has worked for various studios across the globe. Each studio experience has enriched her rigging techniques, pushing Sarah to continually evolve and innovate in her craft.

"I’m originally from Nottinghamshire and I’ve worked in animation for about 10 years now. I’ve completed a Masters in Directing Animation at the National Film and Television School where I made several short animated films including Max (2018) Dots (2018) Let Her Rip (2019) and my multi-award winning short, Something Borrowed (2020). I’ve also just finished Odd One Out (2023) a short funded by the BFI that my team and I are about to unleash out into the festival circuit! For the last couple of years I’ve been animating full time on BBC’s JoJo & Gran Gran in Bristol."
