About me

I have recently been an Office Assistant at Electronic Arts/ Criterion Games and a Runner at Cinesite (a VFX Studio in London) and I am looking to develop my career.

I finished my Degree in Animation Production at Ravensbourne in 2011, and before that studied Product Design, English Language and Media Studies at A Level. I am proficient working on a computer using Maya for 3D as well as Photoshop, Mudbox, After Effects and Microsoft Office.

I have also had work placements at Disney TV, The Mill, The Farm, Chase Imagination, Rare and games tested for Revolution. I am hard working and extremely passionate about the animation industry, and although I am just starting as a Junior, I am hard working and feel I could excel given the opportunity.

Thank you for your time,

Regards,

Hayley Allen,
