Who am I now?

This year I will focus much more on developing my stop-motion production, so I can get to a point where I would be useful to a studio. While my practice last year used mostly cardboard, I want to work in a wider range of materials, to be more professional. While I work on this I also want to continue develop my illustration skills, partly to just have another skill on my belt, and partly to support my stop-motion work. 

Beyond graduation I'm hoping to work either freelance or in a studio. I'm very aware that my area of practice means that jobs will be few and far between, which is why I want to supplement the stop-motion work with illustration gigs that might be a little more frequent. I'm down for working a part-time job for a steady income, as long as I know that I'm always on the lookout for new opportunities to work creatively.

My online presence could definitely do with a facelift. I want to integrate it all a little more smoothly, so that different areas (Instagram, Linkedin, Vimeo etc.) feed into one another very naturally. This can be achieved through linking different platforms, and not going too overboard with it all. 

I really want to make a website where everything can be in one place - a kind of "landing zone" for the rest of my platforms to thread out from. This is something I will develop this year, and I want to spend time refining it, so it reflects my best work. Part of this reflection will come from speaking to professionals to ensure that I am not overcrowding or underselling my work.
