About me

Freelance animator, illustrator and artist. I have over a decade of experience creating explainer videos and internal marketing content from the ground up. Comfortably working with Producers or direct to client, I storyboarding, design, illustrate and animate entire productions. I specialise in vibrant vector and character driven animations. With a large proportion of my experience laying with charity campaigns and explainer videos, I prioritise projects that are doing some good in the world. Originally based in London, Covid found me stuck in New Zealand for two years where I wound up on CNN Travel for painting everything I did during this time. This has now led to a side career as an artist, adventurer and author. Designing and creating logos, book covers and merchandise for fellow adventurers.

Projects

• Education for PrisonersCollaborating with Hands Up as my Producer, I storyboarded, designed, illustrated and animated this short campaign video for the Prisoner's Education Trust. The animation is simple because of budget but the illustrations were a heap of fun! It features original artwork from a selection of prisoners and their kids. The challenge was to create my own content like a five year old to blend it all together!
