OUAN602 - Position Statement

Telling stories is one of the most important tools we have and the ones we hear have a lot of influence over us. During the last three years I have sought to find new and innovative ways to tell stories. There are so many ways to communicate a story and as a result of this I've made it my intention to sample and experiment with a range of methods. This creates work that is immersive and that people can connect with. In the future, a long term aim is to found a dedicated company for telling new stories, such as an animation studio or a game development company.

In July 2017 I will be graduating from the BA (Hons) Animation degree from Leeds College of Art with a first class honours. My background is in animation with a specific involvement in the design process behind it. My focus as an artist and illustrator is on creating atmospheric and unique worlds that immerse the audience. Aside from this, I enjoy writing and creating worlds in this way which often acts as a way to inform the content I create.

My creative skills lie in storytelling, world building and in a more practical sense, the early stage of projects with my work mostly revolving around the creation of concept artwork, storyboarding and the design of characters and environments. I enjoy the design process and taking ideas from concept to tangible works in the form of visual designs and illustrations.
