I am an animator specializing in realistic character and creature animation. Over the years I have been fortunate to work on various projects ranging from feature films, video games, animated feature films and TV-shows. For nearly five years I was part of the DNEG animation team in London, where I gained a lot of experience working on high-end visual effects feature productions.
I am currently living in Copenhagen with my family, where I will be available for freelance projects and remote work.
Please have a look at my showreel and if you are interested in my work and availability, don't hesitate to get in touch!
