an exciting time for the company as they settle into fresh new office space by
the Regent’s Canal in Islington.
Hailing from

vision to her role as 2D Lead. With a background in Mechanical Engineering,Hannah began her post-production journey in Los Angeles, gaining experience
through an animatronics internship before landing a role as Assistant Editor at

challenges, closely aligned with her engineering roots, led her to the world of
VFX, where she quickly excelled as a Flame Artist at Blacksmith.

Kim Gehrig, which won the Outstanding Commercial award at the 75th Emmy Awards
in 2023. Recently, she was responsible for the VFX in Adidas’ highly acclaimed Hey
Jude campaign. At Glassworks, Hannah will continue to innovate by bridging
the gap between Flame and Nuke, further refining her artistic techniques in the
process.

Technical Director at Framestore London, heading up their TD department. His

Little Mermaid, to co-directing School Birds, a queer-focused,dance-based short recently featured at the GAZE International LGBTQIA Film
