About me
I direct and design moving images; working in commercials, content, broadcast and film and TV. At ease working on projects at any scale, my work includes motion graphic design and 3D. My experience with large scale jobs has meant working with crews at home and abroad (Prague, South Africa, and Egypt) and smaller low budget digital projects, such a studio and green screen productions. I am driven in pursuit of excellence and by the desire to experiment and to innovate. My interest in art, design, and culture has informed and influenced my approach to the work. It think it’s important to look outside the industry for inspiration. I have also directed several short films for festivals and TV. I have won numerous awards for my work including D&AD, Creative Circle and British Arrow. I believe my experience in working with great agency talent with big brands and experienced production crews makes me confident that I can bring a level of professionalism, talent and desire to any project.
