Ahmed has extensive experience in the animation industry, working as a 2D animator, storyboard artist, and director. When he relocated to Canada, it opened new opportunities for him, including the role of character rigger. At Nelvana, he was a key contributor to the rigging process for 'Zokie of Planet Ruby'. This role allowed him to improve his animation skills. Ahmed also pursued freelance opportunities, as a director, storyboard artist, and lead animator.

"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. "

Animation has always been important to me. Due to my autism, I didn’t speak until age six, but I was drawing ever since I could pick up a pencil and taught myself stop motion.I founded DaniMation when I was fourteen, initially to produce my own animation series, but quickly found a niche by teaching animation to others with autism—becoming asocial entrepreneur, first in the US and now internationally in addition to my original goal of animation production. Professionally, I earned a BFA in animation and an MBA, and premiered 9 animated shorts at San Diego Comic-Con.
