"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."
