Biography
Third-year Animation student, studying at Uwe. Specialised in 2D animation and character design, but also minor in storyboarding.
Stories that are strange and silly particularly resonate with me. I have a fascination with mixing dark themes with jovial fun, the emotional balance when storytelling is pivotal to me.
