Hello! My name is Amanda.
I’m a storyboard artist based in the Scottish Borders.
Studios I’ve worked with include Sun & Moon, A Productions, Tiger Aspect, Wild Child Animation, and Interference Pattern.
I love bringing stories to life across various mediums: I’ve worked on TV shows, shorts, music videos, and features across animation and live action. Projects include BAFTA Scotland-winning show The Brilliant World of Tom Gates, two Tulipop specials, Duck and Frog, Toad & Friends, Dog Squad, a pilot episode for Super Happy Magic Forest, song sequence animatics for feature-in-development Unstable, and thumbnails and pitch boards for live action feature The Gaelic King.
I was also a clean up artist on Netflix’s Oscar-nominated Klaus, and an inking and colouring assistant on Pablo Berger’s Robot Dreams.
Each year since its first in 2017 I’ve attended or volunteered at Move Summit, the animation conference in Edinburgh. In 2023 and 2024 I joined the staff of the event as a volunteer coordinator and, in 2024, as an event coordinator. I also enjoy running traditional animation workshops for teens and adults, and encouraging greater draftsmanship through study such as gesture drawing.
I like to spend my free time reading, watching films, and walking the hills around my home with my dog, Piper. I also enjoy visiting museums and galleries, and exploring new places!
My short film Liquid Solid was selected for Depict! and Encounters Film Festival in 2020, and Manipulate and Un Festival C’est Trop Court! in 2021.
From September 2023 to March 2024 I was part of a WIA Mentor Circle mentored by Mark Osborne (Kung Fu Panda, The Little Prince), which supported the development of my film Kinsey’s Sword.
