I’m a London-based animation director, creative and treatment designer with experience working across commercials, music videos, branding, and short-form content, often sitting at the intersection of concept, visual direction and execution. I really enjoy what you guys have been doing holding strong ideas, confident visual language and having a thoughtful approach to storytelling, which is what drew me to apply. My practice is rooted in visual storytelling and concept development. I work primarily through digital animation, illustration, layout and motion, using drawing as a way of thinking through ideas and refining direction. I’m comfortable developing visual languages, defining tone and style, and translating abstract concepts into clear, compelling creative direction. Alongside this, I have a strong hands-on background, which allows me to stay close to the work while also thinking about the bigger picture.
