Being an event organizer is one of the most exciting jobs in the world.
So many industries from Arts to Music, History, Environment, Non Profit ,require events organized everyday.

It is one of the most rewarding jobs as you will get to travel, meet many new and interesting people, expand your knowledge about subjects, challenge yourself with new scenarios, belong to a great team.

But being an event organizer is not a simple task.

You will need to develop a system thinking and being able to see the bigger picture.

You will need ro know how to face stress, deal with last minute changes, deal with complaints, deal with issues,deal emergencies, organize a whole team, support your team, coordinate artists or any other stakeholders.

You will have to develop a creative problem solving skill and maintain calm at all times.

I have a great passion for Events Management and the number one requirement you need is going to be being able to read people and read the situation.

I will teach you both the soft skills and all the technical skills required to organize any type of event from small to big.

I am going to also leave you with tips on how to prepare your mind and body to this type of work.

2D Animation Filmmaker and Illustrator - Personalised Drawing lessons

Are you a beginner artist? Are you nurturing a drawing hobby?
Or perhaps you have a strong artistic vision, but you struggle with proportions and spacing?
Do you feel like you lack a personal signature style?
Do you want to learn 2D Hand-drawn Animation?

If any of these questions relate to you, please get in touch with me! I would love to help you develop the right skills to improve your artwork.
Being a professional myself, I know how to help you improve your portfolio or if you are looking for something more hobby-oriented, I can encourage you to take on creative exercises and develop ideas.

I aim for my lessons to be engaging and I respect everyone's needs and pace whilst in a learning environment.
I offer personalised drawing lessons, where we explore creative exercises and I can help with any challenges you bring to the table.

Some of the specific methods and drawing/painting techniques I can share include:

- Proportions and Space
- Observational Drawing.
- Stylised Drawing
- Sketchbook exercises/routines
- Charcoal, Watercolours, Line Art, Digital Art
- 2D Animation techniques

I can also give you specific feedback on any current projects you have (school or university-related as well) and mentor your progress.

I'm an independent artist, specialising in 2D Animation and Illustration.
I'm currently living in Scotland, I'm doing freelance work and I have directed award-winning animation shorts that had their way around the world through film festival tours.
I'm originally from Portugal and I moved to the UK for education purposes.
I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham with a 1st Class BA(Hons) Animation Degree.

I hope to hear from you!

Curating a portfolio for Art school or for GCSE AND A Levels can be difficult. How to make your work stand out? I can help you to research and explore topics and materials that will set your portfolio and projects apart and ahead of other applicants. I myself have successfully applied, received interviews and places at top UK and international art schools and can help you do the same.
