About me

With a sharp eye for detail, and a keen focus on efficiency and organisation in my workflow, I'm a Digital Artist who consistently delivers high-quality work. A First-Class Honours in Digital Arts from the University of Kent gave me the tools to flourish in a variety of creative contexts. So far in my career, I've enjoyed working in both freelance and full-time settings. I began by working with the agency Noise Media as a content creator, working daily to deliver high-quality social-first assets for a plethora of brands. I worked for the likes of Brothers Cider, Culture Club, TaskRabbit and Cetaphil. I then moved to start my own business, where I 've worked with many great clients such as the BBC, Big Finish Productions, L'Oreal, Kerastase, BET TV, and Myth Studio. Having met James Finlay during this time, the founder of Myth Studio, I secured a full-time position working with him as a Motion Designer. At Myth, I worked on and supervised numerous projects for some of the world's largest brands, such as Armaco, Coca-Cola, Mars, and the Eden Project. I also contributed towards the title sequence for the 2024 Euros season on ITV, with our work being seen by millions on the opening night. Working as a motion designer for Myth Studio was a pleasure, having worked with a truly great team on some really important projects. I've now returned to freelance work, applying the skills I've learned over the past several years to help both new and returning clients. Projects ranging from title sequences, brand explainers, key-art design, large-scale asset re-versioning and social ad content are where I shine as a creative.
