About
Hello! I'm Carol (they/them), a British-born Chinese 2D animator and artist from Manchester, UK. I'm obsessed with the colour green and watch too many cartoons!
I love to read comics, play videogames/boardgames and have an interest in mental health. I aim to create work that is colourful, fun and heart-warming.
Graduated from Falmouth University in 2020, with a BA(Hons) Animation degree. Since then, I've gained over 4 years of experience, working for clients such as: BBC, Tencent Video, YouTube and Disney Jr. Currently working at JAM Media.
