Fresh out of college she worked with Edgar Wright, creating the playful graphics for ’Scott Pilgrim vs The World’.
Since then she has lived in Australia, made Woolly Mammoths for The Sydney Museum, and still found time to work on Martin Scorsese’s ‘Hugo’ and Kenneth Branagh’s ‘Cinderella’.
Now back in London, Alice has been working with Leo Burnett for McDonalds, creating stop-frame content for John Lewis, and refining her own 2D range of work.
“I am very excited to be joining the wonderful team at HoiPolloi”, Loveday said.
