About me

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!). I have experience working with top brands such as Match Attax, WWE, Starwars / Disney, NBC Universal, Formula 1 and some international banks. 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 past 8 years but I would love to have the opportunity to be able to dive into the wonderful world of motion.
