Hi there! I'm a director based in the UK specialising in animated productions, with over 18 years of experience in the animation industry.
I've directed multiple award-winning animated TV series and also work as a consulting director and animation director on developments as well as short-format content.
Starting as an animator, I discovered my passion for storytelling and character development. As a director, I’ve had the privilege of working on diverse projects that allow me to explore the many facets of storytelling. From heartwarming narratives with nuanced character growth to side-splitting comedies and high-energy action, I relish the challenge of crafting stories that are both entertaining and meaningful.
I am a big believer in working collaboratively to foster creative environments where talent and innovative ideas can flourish to create engaging and high-quality content.
When not living my passion with work, I enjoy reading comics, photography, savouring delicious food, and trying to convince my stubborn Shiba Inu pup, Kobe, to join me for walks.
