Hi there,

I’m a freelance 2D animator and motion designer based in Norwich, UK. My work offers a blend of fluid, characterful motion and playful design with a traditional 2D animation mindset. My time at NUA has allowed me to build a brilliant support network of creatives, working on live briefs and working with clients to gain industry experience. I’m always looking to expand my skillset and work on new exciting projects and collaborations – so if you’d like to chat about one of those, or just want to say hi, drop me a line at mrzaksmith08@gmail.com!

When I’m not animating, you can catch me over on Instagram where I share recent work, experiments and animation breakdowns so you can get a feel for my creative process. I’m also half of Studio Bask, an emerging indie animation studio that handles bigger and more ambitious projects.
