INTRODUCTION
Hi, I'm Winston, a storyboard and character design artist based in the West Midlands, UK. Alongside working on Wild Westly, I'm looking for additional freelance work in design, turnarounds, storyboarding, animatics, and cleanup to buff out my personal portfolio.

EXPERIENCE
I have previous professional experience working as a Lead Storyboard Artist at Spirit Bridge Studio, including leading the visual development of Bucky the Unicorn Bear, a 2D children's show, and Sahiba, a 3D sikh children's film.

ABOUT ME
Outside of animation, my interests consist of insect pinning, insect keeping, tarot, fps games, creating music, and searching for full-time employment! (That last one was sarcastic)

Winston has been working at Spirit Bridge Studio as a Junior Animator and lead Storyboard artist, working on the pre-production for an unreleased children's show as well as the pre-production for Sahiba (https://sahibathemovie.com/)
Graduated with a First and Honours in 2024. This course was for a bachelor's degree in animation and illustration. This was a 3-year course, and included training in Adobe and Toon Boom products, training in character design, training in story writing, training in visual development, and acted as a way to push students towards their desired career paths within the art industry. In my final year of university, I specialised in storyboarding/animatic work for my dissertation and final major project, which would go on to become Wild Westly.
I'm mostly looking for work in storyboarding, animatic work, and layout, though I am hoping to apply for some animation roles too in the near future.

I worked with Winston on the Wild Westly Pilot voicing the character Argus SIlksong - a moth with a mean streak, to say the least. Winston was amazing to work with. He's the only client I've had that provided a full read of my lines (so direction was clear as possible) while still encouraging me to improvise and be creative in my delivery. He's a prompt, clear, professional, and gracious communicator who makes you feel totally supported in your work. Bonus for the project itself was unlike anything I've seen to this point, high-quality, and hilarious. He and the Wild Westly team have my unflinching and unwavering support in upcoming projects. I'd love to work with them again.
