Since graduating in 1999, with a BA (hons) in Visual Communication, from the Edinburgh College of Art, I spent the earlier years of my freelance career working as a visual artist in the field of animation on short, hand drawn animations which have featured on Channel Four as well as touring various international film festivals. (see c.v for details) I continue to occasionally work on short films but currently my main emphasis is to develop my story ideas in illustration and exhibition format as well as contining to work at the Edinburgh College of Art as a tutor in the Animation Department.
