Objective:
I am a gifted illustrator and traditional animator.
My work is evocative and communicates well across
many audiences. I am comfortable working in a
variety of mediums, and have a talent for visually
interpreting what a client is trying to convey. I am
equally comfortable working alone or in a team.
But more importantly I work well with tight
deadlines!

The film's main topic, cultural identity and
differences was discussed.
As part of my research on the power of moving
images on the psyche, I have interviewed Oscar
Winner (2001) Michael Dudok du Witt.
I am currently exploring the evocative role different
mediums play in Animation. At present I am
establishing links with Alexander Petrov, the
leading Animator on paint on glass technique.
