About

I am a freelance Motion Designer with expert illustration skills. My key principle is to strive to create great looking design for static, digital and moving image - based productions. I believe the purpose of graphic design is to creatively develop ideas so that images communicate the message in a way that people can understand. I am able to do this and thoroughly enjoy the process this job provides. My approach ensures ideas flourish into great design and animation. I believe that I am an expert in understanding the visual language of the audience. I always offer the utmost attention to detail, being mindful of production structures, budgets and working to tight deadlines. I am equally accustomed to working with existing assets or creating them from scratch. I pride myself in being patient and easy to work with, always possessing a good ear and responding positively to direction in order to deliver the strongest possible creative solutions. Importantly I always go all out to have fun with the creations I make and the people I work with.

I am excited by new challenges and collaborations across broadcast, branding and digital media, and I enjoy shaping ideas into compelling visuals that resonate with audiences.
