FIRE ANT QUEEN
I worked on this animation over the course of about 6 months. I developed the characters, backgrounds, storyboard, animatic, and final animation over this period, which was a huge but rewarding undertaking.

Phil Brookes did such an amazing job doing all the sound mixing for this piece. All those hilarious ant screams and background audio are thanks to his hard work.
Very grateful to TedEd for letting me have the creative freedom to tie in my own style and sense of humour to this work. Their guidance and encouragement throughout this project was very helpful.

HUMMINGBIRDS: TINY BUT FIERCE
I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to create another documentary with TED Education. This one is about hummingbirds.

A huge thanks to Phil Brookes for once again scoring this piece.
It's always so fun seeing the awesome work Phil does.
Nick Rees illustrated the beautiful backgrounds used throughout this animation. I feel super lucky being able to collaborate with Nick. A huge thanks to Amy Charlick for jumping in and helping out with animation for this short too. All up I think this is a super fun and whimsical short education animation about some incredible little birds! I hope you enjoy.

TED-Ed mentoring
In 2021 I arranged with TED Education to mentor two recent graduates from the University of South Australia to create their own animated documentaries with the TED team. Throughout the year I met with Mitch Hearn and Michelle O'Connell to help them work from concept to final polished animation. While the subject of each animation was totally different, they each injected so much fun and personality into their films, and I'm so proud of the work they did.
