Ello, I'm Hartley

I'm an aussie artist-animator using my work to improve visibility of identities otherwise unseen in art and animation.

I engaged Hartley to animate a poem I had written, with the aim of creating a short, evocative piece that would bring the words to life visually and tell a powerful story in under three minutes.
 
Hartley is a talented and thoughtful animator. They listened carefully to my brief, responded constructively to feedback, and worked with professionalism throughout the process.
 
The final animation is visually striking and emotionally resonant. It is now being used to spark meaningful conversations about how education policy is lived, felt and, at times, resisted in classrooms.

It was a dream watching the concepts be refined and come to life!
