Telling stories through the form of animation is what I love to do!

Being open to new experiences, I began my journey in the industry at The Imaginarium Studios where I learnt a huge amount about Motion and Facial Capture within the Film and Games industry working on such content as The Planet of the Apes, The Avengers Age of Ultron and Star Citizen. From there I jumped over to Blue Zoo as an animation intern where I continue to grow as an artist.

When I am not at my desk, you can find me in nature outdoors going on long hikes with my husband and my dog.
