ABOUT
I finished my Fine Art National Diploma with a Triple Distinction, studied illustration at UWE, graduated in 2008 and went straight into work at Bolex Brothers Studios. I spent the next few years gaining experience in various prop houses. In 2012 I studied for one year of my MA in animation at the RCA. Since then I’ve been creating costumes, props and puppets for live-action and animated films, for large and small film and television productions, as well as exhibition pieces for artists and museums.
