ABOUT

Creating characters for people to experience is my joy and passion.

I have 5+ years experience in the industry and I would describe myself a positive, empathetic and enthusiastic artist and I'm always looking for new ways for myself, and others around me, to grow and learn. I care deeply for the project I am involved with and the team making it, always striving for the highest standard.

When I'm not creating art I can be found roaming through the woods, cooking what grows in my garden or creating my own toys and figurines
