About me

Amdanaf i

 

I graduated from the University of South Wales in 2016 with a BA Hons degree in 2D Animation. Now based in Cardiff, I work freelance between roles.

My 2D illustrative and figurative drawing skills are my most valued asset. But I am adaptable, having storyboarded and animated during my degree, and come from an overwhelmingly creative background which has fostered an artistic approach to problem-solving. Further experience in TV art departments has required me to be fluid with my abilities, and I am not one to settle for one art style in my continued self-learning.

I am fluent in both Welsh and English, having attended Welsh-language schools in my native rural Carmarthenshire. I also run my own greetings card and print design business.

Hobbies include writing, reading, gaming, lino printing, and walking. Films, the natural sciences and history also contribute to my interests.

Software proficiency and experience includes:

  • Procreate

  • Photoshop

  • Illustrator

  • Affinity Designer

  • AfterEffects

  • Premiere Pro

  • TVPaint

  • Flash / Animate
