Hi,
I'm a London-based character animator and previs artist who has worked on hundreds of projects over more than 15 years, not just in animation but in every step of production.

Recently, I have worked on tv shows and feature films as a previs artist, including​​​​​​​ Tom & Jerry, The Black List, Crown, Aquaman 2, Slumberland and True Detective

I'm also a full-time dad of a little clone of myself. When I'm not animating and he is asleep, I can be found playing video games, drawing or watching movies.
