HELLO THERE!
I'm Emily, an Animator from Manchester.
I'm passionate about 2D character animation and my journey so far has seen me deliver industry standard work for professional animation studios across projects large and small, from national TV spots to educational materials, to independent film projects.
I also hold a Master's degree in Animation - and whilst I came to animation later in my illustration career, my experience in the professional world has made me the hardest worker you'll ever meet.
