Description

Hi everyone!

My name is Ferdia Shaw and I am a 22 year old Irish Independent Animator. I love animals and nature and follow a vegan lifestyle. I am currently working in Utrecht but looking for a new adventure where I can get busy with my hands during the day and focus on my animated project the rest of the time (With a bit of surfing and hiking if possible).

I graduated from the Gaiety School of Acting in Dublin last year and have been looking for a sustainable way to create art ever since. Being involved in the film industry from an early age, I discovered that my passion lies more in small scale independent work rather than getting involved and lost in the huge industry that there is today.

I would love to get stuck into a new adventure and learn more about my place in the world by doing so.

Looking forward to getting out there and meeting you!
