I enjoy making models packed with tiny details and different textures, which is why I am drawn to a career in stop-motion animation. I work with a wide range of processes, including CAD/CAM, sculpting, painting, moulding and casting, and metalwork to name a few. I have been fortunate enough to work in the art department at both Aardman Animations and 3 Mills Studios on two stop-motion feature films. I loved these experiences, and I would like to continue in this line of work as a set fabricator.
