I am a mixed-media animator and filmmaker whose films have been screened internationally. I have worked for various studios and clients and I am a founding member of the Weird Eye Collective.

I hold a practice-led PhD from The University of the West of England, with a focus on the use of new technology within the animation industry.

I continue to actively research animation from a practical, technical and cultural perspective. I have spoken at multiple conferences and symposiums, written academically, critically and journalistically for various online and print journals and is the current Features Writer for Skwigly Online Animation Magazine.
