I’m a freelance Motion Designer and 3D Animator who’s been working in the industry for over 20 years. I love creating animation that has personality, whether that’s through character work, movement, or visual style. Most recently, I spent a couple of years working on the HAPE brand, animating a range of stylised characters and helping shape the creative direction of the work. I’ve worked across agencies and freelance projects, so I’m used to jumping into different teams and workflows, and getting up to speed quickly. I’m comfortable taking ideas from early concepts through to final delivery, and I genuinely enjoy the process of figuring out how to make something better. I think what sets me apart is that I care about the work. I’m not just ticking boxes, I want things to feel right, look great, and have impact.
