About me:

My specialisation is in 2D animation and design. I have a varied illustration style and can use multiple techniques. I use a number of software packages to achieve the look that I am aiming for and always finish at the agreed deadline. In all my projects my goal is to accomplish a professional standard and to always leave my client happy. I enjoy working with people and am used to working in a team, both in a positions of control and working underneath a director or creative leader.
