I am a MA Animation student specialising in 2D hand-drawn animation. I am also passionate about illustration and character design, which began as personal interests before I joined Nottingham Trent University. Through my studies, these interests have developed into a clearer creative direction, and I am now aiming to work in the creative industries as an animator or illustrator. I have had the opportunity to work on the Nottingham: A City of Rebels film project, in collaboration with the BBC Concert Orchestra and the University of Nottingham. As part of this project, we created a film titled The Human Zoo, which explores shifting perspectives and the human desire for freedom. It was a magical experience to see our film screened alongside a live orchestral performance. I am excited to work more, meet more people, and continue the magical journey in the creative industry.
