About Me

Hello! I'm Kieran, a soon to be graduate of computer animation & visual effects at Manchester Metropolitan University. I am eager to work and grow my skills in visual effects and have a strong interest in all aspects of the VFX pipeline.

I am currently seeking opportunities to increase my skillset as a generalist and am eagerly looking forward to networking and helping others in the VFX community.
