With over 30 years of experience in the creative industries, I’ve worked across a wide range of disciplines, from 2D and 3D animation to interactive design. My career has taken me through children’s television, computer games, interactive media, and design, allowing me to explore storytelling and visual communication in many different forms.

I began my creative career with a BA Hons in Illustration and Graphics from Edinburgh College of Art, followed by an MA in Animation at the Royal College of Art. This path led me into the animation industry, where I started as a 2D animator in Sydney, Australia, contributing to children’s TV productions. Later, I moved to London, working on interactive animation projects for Cartoon Network, including The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter’s Laboratory. My artwork moved into 3D animation and took me to Sony Entertainment, where I worked for a number of years on a variety of PlayStation titles. I then worked in children’s TV working for ITV on a live action CGI production ‘Little Big Mouth.’ Beyond entertainment, I’ve applied my design skills working for the rail industry, as a graphic designer/animator, as well as working for London based PR/Design agencies, most recently working with Canon, producing graphics and motion work.

My animation work has been featured at various festivals across the UK, and my graduation film from the RCA was acquired and broadcast by Channel 4 in 1995.

Alongside my industry work, I have over 18 years of experience lecturing in animation and graphic design at art schools across the UK. I’ve taught at institutions including London College of Communication, Cambridge School of Visual and Performing Arts, Greenwich University, London South Bank University, Edinburgh College of Art, and Glasgow School of Art. Currently, I lecture on the Animation & Illustration course at Cambridge School of Art and work as the external examiner for Middlesex University’s Animation and Games course.

In addition to my teaching and commercial work, I’m currently engaged in a drawing research project exploring the Power of Community which will be part of a group exhibition later this year. My work documents the strength and fragility of human connections, examining themes of identity, belonging, and collaboration. I’ve always been fascinated by the ways people come together, work alongside one another, and share their stories. My previous projects have focused on documenting people and places, and these ideas continue to shape my current work.
