I love being a part of the wider animation community, sharing tools and resources online with anyone looking to learn as well as via public events, jurying, interviews and mentorship. Here are a selection of media snippets that I've contributed to or featured in related to this.
Headed over to BAFTA 195 Piccadilly for their Transferrable Skills Day to show the short film I've been directing and chat about the (often undervalued) soft skills I've been carrying from industry to industry throughout my working life.
My links to Animex Festival were briefly covered in the online publication The Northern Echo.
As part of our D&I efforts at Bomper Studio I volunteered to answer some questions on Instagram for International Migrants Day on December 18th 2022. My hope is they were insightful for anyone in animation with the same experience.
Contributed to the judging panel for the 2022 Young Animator of the Year competition in the 'Best 3D Animator Aged 15-18' category, alongside other wonderful top creatives.
AWUK kindly invited me to write some thoughts for an interview piece related to my work and the contributions I've made so far to the program.
