Harriet Titlow - Animator and Illustrator
I’m an animation director who grew up in Norwich, England and discovered I quite a weird kid who liked to draw all the time (sometimes on the walls). I have been working in the industry for 9+ years, and have experience working as a director, animator, designer and producer, across music videos, advertising, television series and short films. I’ve also written several illustrated books and my debut graphic novel, Hattie & Pod, was longlisted in 2023 for the First Graphic Novel Award.
I’ve been fortunate to work with some brilliant and talented people in my career, working on character designs for The Amazing World of Gumball (Cartoon Network) and as Producer on Beware of Trains, a BFI funded short animation.
When not drawing or telling stories, I am mostly found pottering around in my garden in Suffolk.
