Biography

I am an animation director and filmmaker based in London. My creative process is rooted in character observation, surreal imagery, and an irreverent sense of humour. Growing up surrounded by nature has deeply influenced my work—my animations often feel playful and dreamlike, with darker or more solitary undertones beneath the surface.

I am represented for commercial work by Strange Beast, London, and was shortlisted for the Young Director’s Award in 2022. My vibrant, tongue-in-cheek style has earned me recognition from the Shots Awards and the Creative Circle, and my films have been screened at events including the BFI London Film Festival 2019, Pictoplasma Berlin, the B3 Biennale of Moving Image, Anifilm, Animac, and many others.

Alongside teaching across the University of the Arts London, I continue to develop my practice by writing and animating comedy shorts and creating new work through international art residencies, including the Toronto Animated Image Society in Canada and Proyecto Ace in Buenos Aires.
