Hi! My name is Laura and I’m a stop-motion animator and puppet maker based in Cardiff, UK. I’ve been animating professionally since 2014 on feature films (Chuck Steel: Night of the Trampires, Early Man, Isle of Dogs), international short films (Ghost Sonata), commercials (Trolli, Purplebricks) and TV series (Shaun the Sheep Series 6 on Netflix, Kiri and Lou) with directors such as Nick Park and Wes Anderson. I also work as a stop motion puppet maker as well as helping to organise and curate a number of animation festivals and my work has taken me all over the world.
