Since graduating with an Animation MA from the Royal College of Art in 2002, my practice has revolved around three inter-related fields: personal filmmaking, animation/special effects and teaching. In my short films, such as Sweet Salt, commissioned by Animate for Channel 4, I like to mix together animation and live action with deep layering and a love for texture.
Coming from a fine art background, Moving Image was the ideal medium as it combines all arts into one; My films have been screened and awarded internationally and I have been happy to collaborate with other directors and artists through animation direction, compositing, special effects and project consulting.
Through teaching I have sharpened my technical and narrative skills and have benefitted greatly from team work and ideas generation; working with large teams of fresh, driven minds is truly inspiring. I have been teaching at Central Saint Martins, LCC, Camberwell College of Arts, Westminster and other UK universities, as well as in Europe through courses and festival masterclasses.
