Louisa M. Windle Hartshorn Graphic Design Assistant

ABOUT

My practice revolves around creating absurd and surreal animations that reflect an inner world I often struggle to express through words alone. I’m drawn to the freedom of animation, the ability to create literally anything and bring life to ideas that may start as a passing joke, strange thought, or fleeting image. Inspired by the cartoons I grew up watching, such as The Simpsons and King of the Hill, as well as early YouTube hits like Salad Fingers and Charlie the Unicorn, my work embraces humour, discomfort, and surreal storytelling. Although creativity has always been central to who I am, I discovered animation later in life after teaching myself Adobe After Effects at 23. A year later, I left my job to pursue a degree in animation, now I'm eager to start work within the animation industries and beyond.
