Settle - short 2D Animation
'Settle'- Concept art from short film
A short 2D animation depicting a journey along a predetermined path in an obscure, surreal world. The film intends to place the audience into a state of contemplation by immersing the viewer in a forced, slower pace of thinking. It presents an ambivalent message about a human endeavour that seeks to connect with the viewer on an individual basis.

'The Star' - Short film with 2D animation
Live-action and 2D animation. A short film adaptation of H.G Wells’ short story ‘The Star’, told through an old encyclopaedia. Set in 1978, a man reads a book about the catastrophic events of the passing of a star, close to Earth, some twenty years earlier. The film and book act as an exploration of graphic design for film props and their role as a narrative device.

Awards
I was the winner of the Inclusivity Digital Mural Competition for LU ARTS in 2021. My design 'All of Us' can be seen in the Sir David Davies building on campus. The mural design experiments with a colourful collage style, depicting various symbols of different marginalised groups and movements. The work seeks to celebrate these groups and their place in the university community, while also highlighting their struggle and continued fight for equality.
