About me
I am a 42 year old Trade Marketing designer that is currently working for Topps UK, where I design POS, events and digital assets for brands such as Match Attax, Slam Attax, Starwars Collection cards and More . I have been passionate about design ever since I left school (yes around 100 years ago!) but never had the opportunity to train as a designer until five years ago after starting to design in job I was in at the time. I then started by doing a part time time HNC course while working a full time job in printing and a part time job as a shop assistant. I then qualified from college and decided to go full time at university (thankfully I have a very understanding wife and children!). My main love is motion, weather its 3D or 2D. I am always wanting to learn and find new ways and skills to wow people with design. I have spent a lot of my own time self learning the software (Blender3D, Cinema4D, After Effects and more!) to be able to proceed with this. I have achieved more than I ever though possible in the last couple of years but I would love to have the opportunity to be able to dive into the wonderful world of motion.
