I’m Cameron, a 3D designer and live events specialist with over a decade of experience bringing event ideas to life, from early concepts right through to final delivery. I run IDY Creative Agency, where I work with clients around the world to design stages, exhibitions, and immersive event spaces. My focus is simple, helping you actually see your event before it’s built, so you can make better decisions, win stakeholder buy-in, and avoid costly surprises down the line. I didn’t start behind a screen. I started on site, building, rigging, operating, and problem-solving in real event environments. That hands-on background shapes everything I do. I don’t just create something that looks great in a render, I design with buildability, budgets, and real-world constraints in mind. Beyond 3D design, I support the full creative journey of an event. That includes concept development, layout planning, and technical thinking, alongside the wider design ecosystem that brings an event to life. From presentation design and pitch decks, to social media assets, event branding, and visual identity systems, I help ensure everything feels cohesive, intentional, and on brand. Technically, I work across tools like Blender, SketchUp, Vectorworks and AutoCAD for 3D and spatial design, alongside Adobe Creative Suite including Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Premiere Pro for visual content. I also regularly integrate AI-driven tools into my workflow to explore ideas faster and push creative boundaries where it makes sense. Over the years I’ve moved through technical roles, account management, and creative leadership, which means I understand both the creative ambition and the practical delivery side of events. I’ve worked on conferences, exhibitions, brand activations, and large-scale productions across the UK, Europe, Australia, and beyond. Now, through IDY, I specialise in creating high-impact 3D design and creative assets that help clients visualise, sell, and deliver their events with confidence. Whether you’ve got a fully formed brief or just a rough idea, I can help turn it into something clear, compelling, and ready to bring to life.
