Education

2016-2019

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE COMPUTER ANIMATION

Universitv of the Creative Arts | Rochester | Graded 2:1

During my three years at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) I completed a variety of modules that have significantly improved my experience and skills in 3D graphic design and animation. I can successfully go through the entire cycle of making a 2D or 3D film, from design, modelling, rigging and animating my own characters and sets. I am fluent in the use of Maya and Mudbox, which I used extensively during my studies. In the 'Covid-19 lockdown' I have been completing self- directed study to augment my skillset by learning the fundamentals of ZBrush. I have eight years of experience and expert skills in using the Adobe Suite, these are transferrable skills allowing me to use similar programs such as Affinity Designer and Krita. One of my biggest accomplishments while at UCA was to be hand-picked to attend the New Designers show. I was one of six in a class of fifty to attend the show and highlight my own work as well as the university as a whole. From many entrants from universities all over the country my animation was selected for the Screening Awards at the show, after judging I was honoured to achieve 3rd place in the overall awards.
