Hi, I’m Daniel Millyard, a Creative based in London, working everywhere in a variety of mediums including Design, Animation and Photography.
Since a childhood spent recreating films with lego pieces on my bedroom floor, I’ve had a passion for storytelling. As I grew so did my desire to tell my own stories. Our family didn’t own a camera, but we did have one of those old beige computers, so my first creations were janky little animations and games made using Microsoft Office Powerpoint’s rudimentary shape animation tools. This would be the beginning of a never ending journey into digital art and a quest to continue to learn more skills and tools to tell stories with. Several years… a course in Graphic Design, a degree in Film Production and a multitude of creative projects … later, and I’m still finding new ways to tell new stories.
Throughout this journey I’ve had the opportunity to work, collaborate and create with some incredible teams and people, in some awesome companies within a variety of industries, including film, tech and marketing. Furthering my skills in communication, animation, editing, design and photography with each new project and role. Currently I’m working on a limited print run of a photo project I put together in 2020, while looking for new opportunities to collaborate and create in 2021.

There was sense of immense distance of being far away from not only the stars but the friends and family members I missed. At the same time there was a feeling of solace and comfort in knowing that no matt
- Customer Experience Centre ( CXC ) Sprinklr - Personalised AnimationsYears ago, I taught myself After Effects to become a motion designer because of my love of cartoons and animation - to this day I am continually learning new animation techniques. At Sprinklr, my role on the Customer Experience Centre (CXC) department involved designing and animating unique GIFs for Facebook and Twitter. These GIFs were designed to be personal responses to individuals, meaning they had to be specifically created for each post within a short amount of time to stay relevant. This
