I have been working as an animator and Animation Director since 1998, for a number of large and medium sized production companies in Britain and abroad. I trained as a traditional animator, and used Adobe Animate for many years, then ToonBoom since 2014. Work has included commercials, TV series, online animation and website interactions. 2019-2022 (including during Covid ) I was an Animation Director on a Ch5 show "Daisy and Ollie". In 2023 I was Animation Supervisor for "Tortel" and then 2023-24 spin off "Josephine" for 20x11min episodes of intensive production. I kept up to date by animating cycles and making demos and tutorials for the animators in India. Since the pandemic I've learned ways to work remotely very efficiently, and can fulfill roles as an animator, lead animator or animation director/supervisor.
