From mesh to game engine, I can organise your projects animation needs.

I've skill and experience in taking a mesh through the whole animation pipeline from rigging skinning, animation and tooling in Maya, to implementation of animation controllers in unity and animation blueprints in unreal. I have several projects under the belt to validate this experience such as Overcooked 2, The Survivalists, Epic Chef, Killer Frequency in Unity and Hell Let Loose and Worms Rumble in Unreal.

My history shows a diverse range of projects which has required me to be adaptive, such as the contrast between The Survivalists which is a pixel game and the gritty 3D realism of Hell Let Loose. I'm confident that I will be able to adapt to the needs of your project.

Biography

With 10 years in the creative industry as an animator and technical animator I've been working all across the UK. I studied 3D Computer Animation at the University of Glamorgan now called the University of South Wales graduating in 2010.

When I was young I was fascinated with how games and movies were made, often re-watching the making of the Halo games or Lord of the Rings trilogies and realised computer graphics was something I wanted to get into.

Because of my interest in the creative industries I studied 3D Design at college then 3D Computer Animation with a focus on graduating with a solid animation showreel and some knowledge of character rigging. Over the following years I continued to practise my animation and rigging skills eventually teaching myself Python and developing skills in C#. Today I have many different types of games under my belt and have experience across the whole animation pipeline from mesh to game engine in unity and unreal.

I like being outside as much as I like being behind a computer. In my spare time I love to go rock climbing, hiking and running. When I’m inside I like to do DIY and small electronic projects.
