Profile
I am an extremely motivated animator focused on character development and producing high-quality animation. I’m currently in my third year of Animation BA (Hons) at the University of Brighton. I have made substantial progress during my course and would love to learn much more about the industry. I want to be able to understand all areas of animation whether that be 3D, 2D or Stop-motion. I personally find that animation within advertising is an area that particularly interests me. I would love to someday create animations that best cater to the clients' requests.

Soft skills
Imagination: I feel this has been one of my main strengths throughout my BA Degree as I have been able to generate unique and creative themes from the chosen briefs.
Hard-working: I am extremely hardworking and always do the best I can with what I am given.
Malleable: I have a malleable personality which enables me to adapt to any environment or situation.
Communication skills: I have impressive communication skills and work well in a team. I’m also confident when it comes to working alone as well.
Technical skills
Adobe After Effects: Experienced in creating 2D animations as part of university degree.
Mind mapping: I thoroughly enjoy mind mapping ideas as planning remains an extremely important part of the process whether that be through storyboards, animatics or a pre-written script.
Animatics: this is my favorite area of the animation process as I love to experiment with different scenes and characters. This has also given me the opportunity to think outside the box.
Sound design: I have really taken a passion for creating sound design. Every time during my course I reach the stage of sound design I get excited as I love coming up with audio that best suits the animation.
Languages: I am fluent in both French and English.
Experience

[Sales Assistant]
[Paperchase] — [2017] — [2023]
I started my time at Paperchase back in 2017 and since then my confidence has skyrocketed allowing me to step out of my comfort zone and develop communication skills with fellow staff and customers. I am now in charge of any new staff that arrive teaching them the ropes and making sure they feel confident and most importantly comfortable doing their job. Although we're at work I like to make things enjoyable and usually come up with activities that best show off their knowledge and skills, because I feel people learn best when they are having fun and enjoying what it is they are doing.
