I was brought up in the Lake District, northern England. Studied at Cumbria College of art and design. I then attended Manchester Met University and left with a degree in Illustration and Animation.I then moved to London and got my first break as a runner at the award winning effects house The Mill where i got a position as 2D animator. During this time i also worked for Mill Film (Oscar winning Film effects house) as a character designer and storyboard artist. Since then i have been freelancing- directing a few jobs here and there and worked on the animated titles for The Life and Death of Peter Sellers- was nominated for an emmy!! and Nanny McPhee to name just a couple. Trying to get one of my cartoon scripts in production....
