About me

For the past four years, I have run a company called Visual Zuu, where I created and designed captivating visual content for artists to display at their shows. I most recently created all the visual content for the entire UK wide tour of multi-platinum artists Krept and Konan, whilst my visuals for SIGMA have been played at some of the biggest stages in the world. In the time leading up to the start of a show I would be on standby to edit any content or fix any problems at the last minute, this was critical to ensure the show would look and run its best at all times. It was moments like this that made me able to think quickly on my feet and troubleshoot any issues, which is a skill that is translated in any role. Due to the ever-changing industry, I have had to learn how to adapt at short notice to keep content fresh and If given this role I would have no problem delivering what is asked of me and more. I have strong communication skills both verbal and written as this was paramount with all my team members, especially throughout the creation stage where I would have to make creative judgements on various parts of the projects. All the social media accounts for the business were ran solely by myself where I kept our online presence up to date and attractive to audiences new and current. To truly keep an audience engaged through the content you have to understand the importance of paying attention to detail and be able to maintain high standards throughout. I have learnt through the years to be not only meticulous but to balance my time to make sure I stick strictly to deadlines The business website and both showreels were self-created as I am proficient in FCPX, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Cinema 4D, Notch and many other design applications. By integrating my use of these applications I was able to create incredible pieces of content; for example, making use of the 3D modelling of Cinema 4D with the motion tracking capabilities of After Effects then loading the final project into Premiere Pro to apply colour grading and transitions for the final edit.
