About

I’m a freelance motion graphics designer with 12 years of experience creating dynamic video content for agencies and brands. My work spans social media campaigns, advertising, internal and external communications, visualisations, and a wide range of digital formats. I’m highly proficient in the Adobe Creative Suite - particularly After Effects - along with an extensive toolkit of plugins and effects to bring ideas to life with creativity and precision.

I’m confident working from a variety of starting points — whether it’s a detailed storyboard, a concise brief, or a folder of existing assets. I don’t need step-by-step direction; I take creative ownership of each project, drawing on years of experience to shape the narrative, pacing, and visual approach. My focus is always on delivering polished, effective video content with minimal back-and-forth and maximum impact.
