2026, 6 month review! I nearly skipped this one.

Not because nothing’s happened this year, but because my brain is usually so focused on what’s next that it forgets to look at what’s already happened.

Putting this carousel together reminded me that growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a long drive you didn’t think you could do. Sometimes it’s saying yes before you feel ready. Sometimes it’s collecting a series of uncomfortable firsts.

I’m curious… what’s one “first” you’ve had this year that you’re proud of?

And that’s a wrap… or a sandwich 🥪

A huge thank you to everyone who joined my @smallfrycollective Presents talk last night. It was absolutely boiling, so it means a lot that so many of you came along! Luckily I didn’t melt.

Cheers to @maisysummer and @sarah.littleblackcat for inviting me. It was great to reflect on my time in the industry, share a few tips, and talk through my process.

The whole thing got me thinking about the last ten years: exciting opportunities, challenging periods, big changes, and some unexpected new beginnings.

The industry is always evolving, and I think the key is staying curious, adaptable, and focused on the work that genuinely excites you.

For me, that means collaborating with talented illustrators and helping bring their work to life.

Thanks again to everyone who came along. And remember:

You can’t feel the wind blow if you never go outside.

Cheers! ✌️

Animation Journey Story Time! 📖👾➡️

Loved looking back through these projects and all the unexpected twists and turns that can open up new ways of working.

Alongside landing jobs with some dreamy clients such as; @coterie @getgraza @netflixhouse @ft_weekend ! 💘

A big part of that journey has been discovering the value of collaboration - and teaming up with motion whizz @andysandwich_ 🥪 on lots of fun projects.

We’ll be deep diving into all things animation over on @smallfrycollective with Andy for ‘10 years of Motion’ talk - link in bio for the recorded Re-Play of the live event! 🎥🎬

What questions are you most keen to learn about animation/motion? 👾

I do apologize for the inconsistent full stops in these slides and also I said "mid-thirties calling" as if they haven't very much already arrived.

Shout out to @ninacosfordsketchbook for producing the smoothest paper for my scribbly linework. And also Meg Fatherly @printcessmeg for her @smallfrycollective talk about showing up online before you're ready. I never feel good enough or ready and this was a big help and super inspiring!

If you wait to be perfect to start, you may never start.

I’m talking all about showing up online with your work and creativity before you feel ready with @smallfrycollective on Tuesday 19th May from 6pm.

Spent years trying to become less “too much” online only to realise that was usually the part people connected with most ❤️

A lot of my creative life has been:
posting before I feel ready and feeling weird afterwards.

Going to be talking about this and more in my online talk with @smallfrycollective

19th May • 6pm
