ILLUSTRATION
Illustration Reel
My illustrations are crafted to evoke emotion and provoke thought. While I often use my illustration skills to create assets for my animation projects, such as character designs and hand-drawn environments, I also enjoy drawing stimulating art that highlights relevant social, environmental, and political issues, as well as current news stories, which I share on my social media. What began as a hobby and a means of expressing my beliefs gained me significant recognition online, leading to numerous client requests over the years and a profitable online print shop. Recently, I transformed my best illustrations into animations, which are showcased in the reel above.
MOTION GRAPHICS

After studying a degree in Motion Graphics at Ravensbourne University, I launched my career at Discovery Networks, where I designed engaging social media content and animated high-end channel idents for broadcast. My dedication and creativity were recognized early on when I won the 'Best Design Newcomer' title at the Promax Awards after just one year. This milestone paved the way for my next role as a motion designer for NBCUniversal, where I collaborated with talented editors to animate typography and on-screen graphics for film and TV promos. Over the past three years as a freelancer, I have had the privilege of working on diverse and exciting motion projects for prestigious clients including the BBC, Mars, King's College, HSBC and Discovery Warner.
ANIMATION

In my animation work, I employ a versatile approach, alternating between traditional hand drawn cel animation, 2D vector graphics designed in After Effects, and occasionally exploring stop motion animation, depending on the project's requirements. Over the past three years as a freelancer, I have had the opportunity to work on a variety of exciting projects for charities, documentaries, popular social media influencers, and esteemed brands. The video above showcases a showreel of my best animations.
