Hi there! I’m an Animation Director and Illustrator based in London with an MA in Animation from the Royal College of Art.
The latest film I have co-directed with Nathan Fagan "Inside, The Valley Sings", is currently in the Academy Award race as a short documentary.
I love working in hand-drawn animation in these more and more digital times. My technique is adjusted to the clients’ needs - first I create digital animation and when that stage is approved, I move on to the analogue stage and either animate in ink, charcoal, crayons, and paint. Creating animation that feels physical and tactile brings me a lot of joy although I am also proficient in digital animation and have a lot of experience in assisting on music videos, short films, and ads for other directors.
The main themes of my works are the absurdity of the world around us and the surreal, while other works and films focus on conveying the unconscious and its desires, fears, and the anxiety of the insomniac mind. I love to take inspiration from real-life stories and transform them into engaging short films and visuals. I also enjoy working on documentaries that allow me to research the topic thoroughly and help convey the emotions and tackle difficult subjects.
My past clients include among others the WWF, Coldplay, Natural History Museum in London, Akhram Khan Company & Sony.
I'm always up for collaboration and new challenges so please get in touch! :)
