Hi, I’m Tamara, a 2D Motion Designer and Illustrator with over four years’ experience helping brands and charities tell their stories through engaging visuals. I specialise in creating animated videos, motion graphics, and illustrations that make complex topics and stories accessible and engaging.
Most recently, I’ve worked with organisations such as the NHS, Westminster Foundation, Good-Loop, and Thrive, delivering projects from concept to completion. I started as a Mid-Motion Designer at The Animation Guys, where I led high-profile campaigns for clients like DAZN’s ‘WTA Greatest 50’ (Women’s Tennis Association.) I’ve also collaborated with agencies such as Wild Studio and projects on platforms like Shopify and Ancestry.
With a strong foundation in design from my education in visual communication, I’m continually expanding my skill set. I’m currently diving into Rive to stay at the forefront of motion design trends, enabling me to create interactive and adaptive animations.
I am confident with presenting and communicating with clients, as well as working both collaboratively and independently on long-term projects. I am an avid problem solver and plugin finder, and I am keen to learn and improve my skills. I am currently teaching myself Rive, and occasionally Blender! I have a first class degree in Animation from Leeds Arts University, where I also studied at Willem de Kooning Academy Rotterdam on an exchange program. I am committed to a friendly team environment and passionate about creating engaging and creative animations.
