About me

I am a polite, easy going and cheerful person with a professional attitude and the ability to work within a team or independently. I have a high level of versatility and commitment and am an effective communicator. I also consider myself to be punctual, well organised and reliable individual with a willingness to learn new skills to complete any task. I have an excellent memory, highly developed analytical skills and am methodical in my working practice.

I have good skills in art and crafts which I enjoy using concept art to design and build 3D models. I am also highly competent in fine detailed painting. I am keen to increase my knowledge, especially in areas of art, costume and animation. I have a varied knowledge of history, science and media.
Additional skills:
I also made a stylized, anthropomorphic creature costume that was inspired by cartoons and mascots. This required a lot of research and learning of new sewing techniques, which included skills in carving and working with foam. I also consider myself to be a generalist, however, I am a fast learner who is always happy to learn new skills and improve on old ones.

My skills also include using 2D/ 3D animation software and 3D modelling software, which I have used in the past to help me to design garments, flat specs and sometimes design patterns.
Industry awards:
During my second year of my Fashion & Costume college course, I entered into the Royal Opera House Design Challenge of 2015. My ‘Madame Butterfly’ costume was one of the garments to be nominated and was displayed in the Royal Opera House.

As a post graduate, I have worked with a team on several 2D Flash animation projects. This involved commercial assignments and an opening introduction animation for a pitch to a children's cartoon called ‘‘The Float Folks”. I have also worked in a team on a half-minute micro-documentary called ‘‘What is Wrong with the Global Development Organization?”. I was awarded the Film and Television Award in 2011 (sponsored by Talkback Thames), during my first year in Animation and Visual Effects.
