Hi, I’m Daniel Jones, a versatile Graphic Designer and Motion Designer with over 20 years’ experience creating engaging visual content across digital, social, video, and print within regulated public and private sector environments.

I bring a strong understanding of animation principles, storytelling, and brand consistency, alongside hands-on expertise in Adobe Creative Suite (After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and emerging 3D workflows in Blender and Adobe Project Neo. I’m comfortable managing multiple projects in fast-paced settings, working closely with stakeholders, and delivering high-quality creative that is both visually strong and purposeful.
