Making things
move.

I am a 3D Animation and Technical Animation professional with 15+ years of experience across film, VFX, advertising and AAA game development. Experienced in analysing human movement, character actions, motion-capture performances and complex interactions between characters, objects and environments.

Strong background in animation quality control, production supervision, technical problem-solving and reviewing visual work against creative and technical requirements. Experienced in identifying subtle differences in movement, timing, posing, action sequences and end states, and communicating observations clearly to artists and production teams.
