During my 12 years at Takoma, I developed recognised expertise working with major clients—in the luxury and automotive sectors, among others—from consultancy through to delivery, as part of a multidisciplinary team. As a motion design lead, I also joined the AI innovation R&D team. Specializing in motion graphics, UX/UI, print design, and visual identity, I guide my clients through every step of the process, from graphic strategy to final production. I have 17 years of motion design and art direction. A round-the-world trip with my family inspired a passion for creation that remains as strong as ever. I design animations and user interfaces that are intuitive: fluid, clear and seamless. I’m looking for a role where precision and creativity can go hand in hand. How about we build the next chapter together?
