About
I started my career as senior caricaturist/sculptor on Spitting Image, then moved into animation by virtue of a short film I made with colleague Tim Watts called The Big Story, which was nominated for an Academy Award and won the BAFTA. Since then I have been a Director and story artist. In 2008 I went to Toronto as Head of Story on Gnomeo and Juliet and subsequently stayed for nine years as Story Supervisor at the studio, where I also directed the dvd specials of Thomas and Friends. I returned to the UK in late 2017 and since then have been a storyboard artist on several TV shows whilst also acting as Head Writer on the latest season of Thomas.
