Animation + Art Experience

Kavaleer Productions - Scene Prep

In January 2021 I began my position of junior Scene Prep Artist on season 2 of the show ‘Boy Girl Dog Cat Mouse Cheese’ at Kavaleer Productions. I worked in close collaboration with multiple departments to gather and place elements, such as backgrounds and character rigs, in preparation to be handed off to animators. If time allowed, I also helped with scene prep on the other shows and projects that were in production at the studio (‘Alva’s World’, ‘Circle Square’, ‘Tackle Your Feelings’).

Kavaleer Productions - Build and Rig

When able, I also aided the build and rig department of ‘Boy Girl’. I helped with the creation and rigging of some of the props and special character poses that were needed for new episodes.

IADT Dún Laoghaire - BA (Hons) Animation

I finished my final year of this course in May 2020, having worked on producing a grad film.

On my grad film ‘NOVA’, I was Co-Director and Animation Director. My duties included overseeing and giving notes on the animation work completed by collaborators, and collaborating with others working in other areas of production.

I have also collaborated on a number of projects during my time at IADT. In 2017, I was a colourist on the grad film ‘Dianna and The Aura’. In 2018, I was a storyboard artist and character animator on the short ‘Tricks for Treats.’ In 2019, I was an animator on the grad film ‘Reggie’.

In my own time, I have animated segments for the fan-produced animation project based on the ‘The Adventure Zone’ podcast. I have been doing independent art commissions since 2016, and I have sold my work at the IADT Craft Fair. I have also contributed illustrations to several charity zines that helped benefit organisations like St Jude’s Children’s Hospital and RAINN.
