I am a highly motivated, passionate, and driven individual with a track record of delivering high quality and creative results throughout a film and animation pipeline, as an individual and as part of a team. Throughout the past six years working in the animation industry, I have been a part of many productions and worked with many different teams as a director whilst utilizing my thorough knowledge of the animation pipeline. I have also been personally responsible for work in many other aspects of production besides this responsibility; from character design and storyboarding to compositing and editing. With this wealth of experience comes great respect and humility for the talented individuals I have been lucky enough to work with and have had the fortune to manage. As an (ex) small studio owner I have directed and helped to manage and coordinate productions with  larger studios and agencies for clients with household names such as Disney and Lego. I believe it is crucial to have an overview of all aspects of production and communicate with all departments to keep to deadlines and to stay on budget. I am a clear and precise communicator and have been able to share my vision across a variety of cultures and language barriers. I enjoy leading a team and motivating them towards finding a common goal and a collective vision for a project by finding creative solutions to problems. I am very much a people person, and feel as comfortable working with a large team as I am working solo on a computer. Having said that, I believe that the key to creating and developing new and exciting work is collaboration and cooperation and I like to create an atmosphere of exploration and experimentation within a brief. I firmly believe that, regardless of style or content, the principles of good work remain the same and can be applied to any production.
