About

Hi! I'm Josie, and I'm a layout and background artist currently based in Bristol.Working on the Arts University Bournemouth graduate film 'Fish Soup' helped me gain experience working as part of a team, considering my role in the pipeline and helping out with other areas such as compositing and clean-up animation. I hope to develop these skills further on future projects! :-)
