About
I am very passionate about Animation, Technology & Gadgets, Drawing & Designing Characters, Gaming and Street Dancing. I often draw or create art work for friends and family, either by doing portraits or caricatures. In my spare time I go to the cinema a lot and try to watch all the latest films. I also like to do vocal impressions, create my own voices to help to bring my characters to life. Myself & the rest of my course participated in presenting ideas to the CEO and Creative director of Merlin Entertainment, for ideas and concepts for new attractions. We worked alongside the merlin team to pitch our ideas where the best ideas would win a prize.
