Over the past two years I have been sharpening my skills as a traditional animator and creature/character designer. Working on the short film "Supermarket" has been the perfect opportunity to do so.
My work is strongly driven by my sense of humour and love for storytelling and is inspired by the likes of Disney, Pixar, Don Hertzfeldt, Sergio Pablos, and more.

This character design was created for my children’s show concept, “Planet Hoppers”. The show centres around seven-year-old Nova who travels through outer space with her scientist grandfather.

Nova’s adventure companion comes in the form of a frog stolen from her grandfather’s science lab.
