Q&A

  • I’ve been freelancing as an animator / illustrator for the past 15 years, and I absolutely love the process of collaborating with clients to bring projects of various sizes to life. I have an amazing extended team of artists that I hire to complete projects if clients require a project to be completed in a short timeline.

  • I am very transparent about my workflow and process, and regularly communicate if I’m unsure about any aspect of a project — I try to minimize surprise on all fronts.

    This is my typical process of creating an animated video:

    1. Create script, and decide if voiceover will be used, or just music

    2. Create storyboard based on approved script

    3. Once storyboard is completed, design characters and backgrounds

    4. Once these are completed, create the scene-by-scene animation

    5. Bring all elements together (audio and visuals) and adjust in post-production

    The intricacies of each step can be articulated in more detail, but this is the simplest breakdown.

  • My animation budget is based on the complexity of the imagery and the techniques used to create the animation or illustration, so please ask about my availability for a project and give me a sense of what you’re looking for. You can do so here.

  • I love to work with organizations that are environmentally conscious. I’ve worked with food sovereignty-based NGOs, Universities and Colleges working in the food and sustainability sector, and small businesses in my local community.

  • Animation (motion) and illustration (still images) are wonderful mediums to elaborate the power of the untold stories of the world. I work in both digital and traditional mediums, often combining the best of both as needed. I love working with different artistic styles, and continually try to expand the breadth of my visual palette.

    Both animation and illustration allow you to portray the work you do as inherently human and down to earth. Book a call with me here and I’ll show you some incredible work that I’m inspired by that proves this.

“Myths, Tolkien explains, are not fairy tales, intentional lies, or mere fabrications, but are instead powerful vehicles for revealing the world’s deepest truths. All myths, he argues, illuminate layers and dimensions of existence that are often missed by our narrow human vision. In this way, they can actually be more “real” than what we normally call reality.”

— J. R. R. Tolkien
