Hello! I'm Bianca, a London-based 3D Animation Lead working across games, television, short films and commercials. Since 2014, I've helped breathe life into short films like Aria for a Cow and Sinking Feeling, provided rigging and character animation for indie game titles like They Suspect Nothing and Shadow Point and had the joy of animating for Go Jetters as well as the award-winning Pip & Posy series adaptation. I currently specialize in leading animation teams at Bomper Studio to create heartfelt, playful, stylized character animation across a range of short-form commercial projects. Outside studio work, I also enjoy lecturing for NextGen Skills Academy occasionally, mentoring the next generation as part of Access: VFX or Animated Women UK and recently had the pleasure of jurying for the 2021 BAFTA Game Awards in the Animation category. Above all, I'm passionate about adapting visual storytelling across different mediums and am continuously inspired by how art and technology play a part in shaping our view of the world.

❝ Bianca has demonstrated great technical knowledge and creative ability; both on the large and also smallest production details. She's also a really great problem solver and has shown a strong ability to think on her feet. She's very autonomous (what we need) and assertive, but also open to alternative solutions and feedback (even from me at times and I'm not even an animator). Really helpful to me when I need further info or context from her, and great in client meetings. I have received nothing but positive feedback from her colleagues regarding her work, her input during meetings and general interaction. ❞— Emlyn Davies, Executive Creative Director at Bomper Studio
