About

On the record

I am an aspiring animation director & screenwriter, creator of short, animated films, animation lecturer, as well as a character animator in 3D and stop motion. Since 2018, short, animated films made by me together with my screenplays have been presented at over 260 festivals in around 35 countries, winning over 50 awards. I graduated with a Distinction (highest possible) from an MA Animation course and with the First Class Honours (highest possible) from a BA (Hons) Computer Animation course at the University of South Wales in Cardiff, in the UK with specialization in animation directing and character animation. In March 2024, I started teaching as a visiting lecturer at my University of South Wales, conducting classes in the screenwriting module for students of the BA (Hons) English and Creative Writing faculty. In November 2024, I started working as a junior 3D character animator and previs artist in Maya Autodesk at the "Lumiere de Cinema" VFX studio in Warsaw, Poland. I was working as a dragon animator on a live-action feature film "Grandpa, let's go!" which was screened in Polish cinemas across the country. Currently, I am an animation lecturer on a "Film Animation Techniques" course at the "Cosinus" Post-Secondary School, on an "Animator Pro" course at the "Step IT Academy", as well as at the CinemaSchool (KinoSzkoła) educational organization in Warsaw, Poland. For more than 5 years now I also have been an independent visiting presenter of educational workshops on animation techniques, storytelling and literature for high school and primary school students. Recently, I finished my eighth short film, this time in stop-motion puppet animation technique, about female empowerment, addiction to night 's gluttony and vampires, titled "Nibbling of the Night", of which script, direction, production, creation of puppets and sets, as well as the whole character animation were made fully by me. The film is currently in a successful festival circuit. It has already won over 10 film awards including a prestigious Royal Television Society Award. I am open for work and looking for a producer with whom I could apply for funding and pitching opportunities and bring a new short, animated film to life.
