Description

Hi! I’m Jodie and I’m a remote, freelance animator based in Southampton, UK. My passion is to use my skills within animation to produce thought provoking content that challenges current societal norms and help create a more diverse and equal world for all.

I have experience working in creative agencies as well as in house for companies within Financial Services and the Learning and Development sector. Producing work for a range of global clients over the years, I'm now excited to use my skills as a freelancer and work with clients who share similar values.
