I am a student 3D animator in my final year of study at Ravensbourne University, London. I would like to specialise in character and creature animation. I predominantly enjoy creating realistic animations that are in line with body mechanics. Working for feature film studios would be a dream for me to establish myself in.

I have an adequate understanding of Maya, and I am always learning new things to expand my skills using this software.

My sector/industry preference leads to the entertainment industry, as my goal is to capture attention from an audience and entertain them. Specific companies within this industry in which I find interesting are; Framestore & Dneg. ​​​​​​​

I am super excited for the animation industry, racking up a list of entertainment media will be very rewarding and fulfilling for me to achieve. Personally, I can't wait!
