I’m a motion designer, animator and illustrator with broad broadcast experience across sports and entertainment. I create dynamic 2D and 3D visuals, character animation, and live graphics for TV and live events, delivering to deadlines with a collaborative approach. My background in cartoons and illustration helps me bring bespoke character work to life for diverse clients, from in-arena LED boards to large-screen graphics for major broadcasts. When I’m not designing, I work as a sports commentator for Discovery+ Eurosport and enjoy cycling events such as the Tour de France Femmes Avec Zwift. I’m also a volunteer lifeboat crew member for the RNLI in Newhaven, and I value teamwork, curiosity, and a friendly, proactive mindset in everything I do.
