About me
I am a 4th year student studying modelmaking in the Design for Film course in IADT.
During my time in this course I have learned a large variety of skills for use in the modelmaking discipline, and have applied those skills in a diverse range of projects in both large and small scale. I have a passion for using skills such as sculpting, sewing, painting and 3D printing to bring unique characters and engaging worlds to life. I have a particular fondness for mediums such as stop-motion animation and puppetry, especially the creative process involved with making for both mediums.
