Profile |
| |
From a young age I have been interested in both the technical and the aesthetic aspects of animation. I enjoy the cross-discipline nature and freedom of expression that animation offers . . Within the field of animation, it is the stop frame technique that I particularly enjoy watching and creating.
My objective is to build on my already acquired skills in all aspects of animation filmmaking. I work well both in a team and independently, and push myself for higher standards in each piece of work I undertake. |

Experience |

Animation Research Centre |
ARC Archive Manager (2005-present)
Working with Suzanne Buchan I have been promoting and furthering the ARC and its archive to students, institutions and festivals. My responsibilities have included curating exhibitions, assembling a new ARC website, digitising the archive's film collection and working with the assistants with cataloguing. My time at the ARC has resulted in a very broad knowledge of the history and context of British animation, especially the Halas & Batchelor and Bob Godfrey Studios.

Animator (July 2006)

Interests |
| |
My interests away from animation include producing web sites - which I have built for myself and for other people. I am keen at construction and I enjoy building, renovating and decorating.
I am always keen to try new activities and in the past 6 months have tried ice-skating, fire dancing, horse riding and dance lessons.
Recreational sports that I enjoy are jogging, badminton, squash, and keeping fit at the gym. |
