Bachelor of Animation Year 3
I’m an ambitious Animator developing a wide range of skills in 2D & 3D animation, Visual Art, Digital Illustration, Character Design, Modelling and Game Design. I’m always trying to improve my skills so that I can express myself through art and put my creativity into my work. I aim to bring scenes to life through and draw viewer’s attention with visually appealing design.

Kent Weevil Project
For the Kent Weevil project, I worked as a lead animator mainly focusing on developing and animating the ArchWeevil monster for the project. Since the ArchWeevil is a manifestation of Iris’ fear of her dysfunctional household, and guilt of leaving behind her sister - Violet, the ArchWeevil needed to have a creepy, incomprehensible but vaguely human design which I had in mind while developing. I added a set of 6 human arms to give it a spider-like motion when moving, which was insanely ambitious and hellish to animate, but the final product looks good. I’m very proud of the end result and hope to develop my skills further in the future.
Cryptid
This project was my narrative animatic that was chosen to be developed into a 30 second short-film, that follows the story of two cryptid hunters - Abi and Guy, who investigate a storm drain in hopes of tracking a cryptid. I enjoyed designing and coordinating the group to develop the scenes for this film. I animated a couple scenes and worked with my team to combine background art, animation, and compositing to create a visually appealing final product.
