About

I’m a London-based motion designer working across brand, advertising, and paid social. I focus on clear, well-crafted motion that helps ideas land, whether that’s short-form social content, explainer videos, or campaign assets.\n\nI’m comfortable taking work from concept through to delivery and have experience collaborating with agencies, broadcasters, and in-house teams. My background spans motion, design, and key art, with a strong emphasis on consistency, clarity, and good visual rhythm. I value straightforward communication and solid craft.
