About me

I am a professional creative, entrepreneur who is focused, driven and works well under pressure, particularly in target-oriented projects. I've always been deeply interested in illustration, animation and design from a young age. My studies and subsequent work experience in the television industry enabled me to build upon this passion with technical ability, acquiring a broad foundation of knowledge and skills through various projects. Furthermore, after setting up my first successful award winning Animation Production Company, I've built extensive experience and enthusiam for adding value to a varied client base, helping others communicate their messages in a visually engaging way. I've now not only worked in, but build and created team orientated workflows to cater to each project as a quality Director. Our clients, in order of most recent, include:

-Royal Society Of Arts

-The University Of Greenwich

-The University Of Hertfordshire

-Google
