I am a motion designer, director and animator from London, living and working in Melbourne, Australia.
After graduating with a degree in Graphic Design, I started working with legendary broadcast design agency English & Pockett and then worked as a freelancer with many top London agencies until relocating to Melbourne in June 2012.
I worked mainly in broadcast branding during my time in the UK working on design, animation, ident creation and direction for a number of large channels including Discovery, BBC, ITV, Ned 1, 2, 3, NRK Norway, MTV Finland, SVT Sweden, EMAP and Abudhabi TV. I also designed and directed programme titles for the iconic BBC News, This Morning and created titles and graphics for Eurovision Song Contest, 2011 and 2012 viewed by over 300 million people.
Now a creative director I have diversified my skills and approach with the broader scale of projects we work on. From a start point of concept and storytelling, I now direct different sized teams on diverse projects such as TVCs, web videos, character animations, video game cinematics, often adding a hand on 3D and compositing.
I have won a number of awards including Promax, RTA, Eyes and Ears of Europe, a Rose d'Or, Melbourne Design Award and from the Norwegian Design Council.
My skills lie with creative thinking, design and animation in 2D and 3D. I love the challenge of making things, telling stories and executing ideas.
