I’m a multi-disciplinary motion designer from Johannesburg inspired by the filmography of Wes Anderson, 80’s synthpop, and Renaissance paintings in equal measure. You might be asking what these three things have in common. I think it’s the ability to tell interesting stories. I’ve had the opportunity of working with some of the biggest agencies in South Africa across many historic brands. Some brands include FNB, Absa, Takealot, Standard Bank, Momentum, Discovery, Telkom, Hollard, and British American Tobacco to name a few. I’ve launched brand identities, conceptualised campaigns, implemented designs across digital and out-of-home channels, and art-directed a feature-length film campaign. My multi-year experience as a freelancer helps me adapt quickly to new work environments and gives me a layered background to refer to. --- Experience: Freelance Motion Designer Freelance Feb 2022 - Present OLIVER+ Motion Designer Aug 2021 - Jan 2022 · 6 month contract Valiant Agency Digital Animator Feb 2021 - Jul 2021 · 6 month contract Six Degrees Production Animator Sep 2019 - Feb 2021
