Lovely, interesting people, fun, engaging classes and overall a wonderful place to be for creatives.

The modules that I took on the Animation course will always stay with me; learning to design characters and write scripts were some of my favourites. I was particularly interested in the storytelling side of animation and I feel like I was given the tools and space to pursue that on this course. Alongside that, having amazing lecturers who supported me throughout my three years made the experience much more meaningful and memorable.
Get as involved as you can and have fun. Pursue your passions - the people at the University of Wolverhampton will help to get you where you want to be.

I currently work with a bunch of fantastic people where I help to tell meaningful, magical, personalised stories as a Book Designer & Artworker at Wonderbly in London. The books I work on let children imagine themselves doing extraordinary things and help prepare them for every chapter of their life.

Originally from Wolverhampton, I now work in London as a Book Designer & Artworker at Wonderbly helping to create meaningful, personalised children's books. I love storytelling in all shapes and forms and hope to continue working with wonderful people to tell imaginative and inspiring stories in the years to come.
