About Me
I am a hard-working, reliable individual who graduated from University of Lincoln with a 2:1 BA (Hons) Degree in Media Production. I chose Digital Media as the primary focus of my studies during my course and explored software's like Blender, Unreal Engine and Adobe suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and After Effects. I want to expand my knowledge and grow as a VFX artist and graphic designer. I love a challenge and to be able to learn; you can never know everything.
​
I currently work at Manchester Metropolitan University as the Technical Officer - Motion Graphics, VFX and Web. I teach the students a range of software including the Adobe Creative Cloud, CAD software like Vectorworks and a 2D animation software called Toon Boon Harmony. I also support the students with their projects in a Digital Media Bar.
​
I have just been certified as an Adobe Certified Professional in After Effects and in Premiere Pro which means I now have an Adobe Specialty Credential in Video Design. I also have been recognised as an Adobe Certified Professional in Content Creation and Marketing using Adobe Express.
