From Emerging Artist to
Studio Ready
Welcome to Studio Ready.
A career coaching site for VFX, Animation & Games students, graduates and emerging talent.
Are you a budding artist about to launch your career and not sure where to start?
Or have you applied for jobs, only to hear crickets?
You are not alone.
Many AI platforms struggle to understand and interpret CG terminology and context correctly. This means resumes, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles generated by AI can be overlooked before you get your foot in the door.
I have spent over a decade working across VFX, Animation and Games, supporting artists at every stage, from students to studio hires, helping students and junior artists become truly Studio Ready.
Whether I am reviewing your resume, cover letter or portfolio, or supporting your LinkedIn and interview preparation, I will personally guide you with clear, practical feedback so you can pursue every opportunity feeling prepared and confident.
No generic advice. Real industry insight.
