About Me

• 
  

  Since I saw Toy Story on my 10th birthday I’ve been incredibly interested in computer graphics and animation. Over the last few years I’ve sought to educate myself in all facets of the medium from modeling through to lighting and compositing, Animation however, has been the best thing I have encountered, Animation to me carries unlimited potential for artistic expression, every aspect of it fascinates and enthuses me to try and better myself at it.

  Outside of animation I like to stay as physically active as I can, I’ve played a lot of sports including rugby for my university, Sunday league and 5-a side football overall I’m a fan of being healthy in general. My attitude to work is the same as my attitude to life, enjoy what you do and work hard at it. I bring a friendly fun attitude to my work and I always enjoy working with people.
