About me

With a BA(hons) degree in Illustration/Animation arts and over seven years professionally experienced, I bridged the gap between hobby and profession by becoming a freelance artist for hire. I work for various clients across the globe, both short term and long term.

Moving from the UK to Japan, I wanted to extend my career opportunities. During this time I continued my freelance art career while obtaining a full-time career within animation, specialising in 3D/2D character animation and character design. Using programs such as Maya, I have worked on big title projects like 'Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker' and 'GARO'.

Outside of my fulltime work, I am a content creator for my own YouTube channel (Shiverz In Japan). Uploading three videos on a weekly basis, on the subject of Japan, specifically the nightlife and otaku based culture. Also creating and collaborating with various YouTube content creators making a profitable and collective site that continues to grow to this day.

Currently I am living and working in Tokyo, Japan, creating educational video content for GnoKids, that teaches English to children aged between 1-8 years.

I edit, animate and design content that is fun and exciting to younger learners.

My other duties include:

- Design creation for characters featured in the show, flashcards, booklets and stickers.

- Social networking content creation (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), making design work using the Adobe suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) to give exposure via the internet for the company.

- A puppeteer for one of the main characters in the show that the company creates for our younger learners and voice acting for the interactive video worksheets and games.

A resident of Japan for over seven years now, I have long term goals to stay in Japan and to continue to expand within the creative industry. Gaining further skills and connections, while creating high quality content for all companies that I work for.
