What are your biggest strengths and weaknesses?

My greatest strengths would be my creativity and artistic talents. My weakness is definitely procrastination.

Tell us an achievement you're proud of.

Our 2nd year group project which I wrote and directed 'Amarok', was the highlight of my time at Escape Studios.

Would you rather be a wizard, jedi or superhero and why?

I would rather be a Jedi for their monk-like principles as peacekeepers of the galaxy. Lightsaber combat skills would be a bonus.

Which animated movie inspired you the most to choose this career path and why?

The Lion King (1994) is the biggest influence in me wanting to be an Animator from a young age.

What was your crowning moment of your time at Escape?

The animated trailer, Amarok, that I directed during my 2nd year. Whilst there is plenty that could be improved on, I was incredibly proud of what my group and I managed to achieve in a short space of time.
