Hey, this is Leesh
I'm an Australian designer and animator currently based in the Northern Rivers, NSW.
My artistic practice mainly focuses on fantastical concepts with a preference for the macabre, magick, and medieval, and is continually evolving across 2D, 3D, still, and motion mediums.
I graduated valedictorian from SAE Institute with a BA in Animation. My final uni project 'Trinket' has won a selection of Australian and International awards and been shown at a multitude of festivals including Blender Con and SXSW Sydney. In 2025, we successfully obtained grant funding from both Screen NSW and Screen Australia to develop a ‘Trinket’ game prototype in Unreal Engine over 6 months.
I'm proficient in Blender, Davinci Resolve, the Adobe Suite, with burgeoning skills in Unreal Engine, and constantly eager to learn new software, practices, and styles.
