I am Helena Masterson, a dedicated creative professional from the North West of England. I studied Motion Graphic Design at the University of Salford, gaining a First in BA (Hons). I started my career as a Junior Motion Designer and Video Editor at Soup Collective, quickly progressing to mid-weight before moving to Manchester United. There I supported a wide range of partner and club projects, producing internal videos from club to partner content, social media edits and motion graphics. During my time at United I gained extensive experience working with global brands and solving problems creatively. I worked on campaigns for Adidas, Nike, 20th Century Fox, Cadbury's, Remington, Vredestein, New Era, Aon, Chevrolet, Tezos, Therabody, Chivas, DHL, Kohler, Concha del Diablo, Virgin Money and more. I decided to go freelance in March 2024 because I wanted a fresh challenge. Since then I have worked on projects involving the Premier League, Asda, Panini, AstraZeneca and the Ministry of Sound/Sony, along with LED and motion work for Premier League clubs.
