About me

I am a hard working, motivated motion graphic designer with over three years industry experience. Currently I am working in London for a gaming company producing marketing motion graphics for web and in store. My role involves reporting directly to the head marketing graphic designer, interpreting incoming briefs and then creating concept storyboards, finalising artwork and then transforming into compelling animated sequences. I work closely with the marketing, sales, and accounts teams to edify and drive new and existing business. I feel that having to work across these different aspects helps me to consistently consider my approach to each project and refine the different creative aims of each. I have been in this role for 16 months now and in that time have come on leaps and bounds in terms of my artistic ability, my knowledge of the adobe suite and how I attack each brief, trying to go above and beyond what is called for to produce a product that will be effective and interesting as well as push my ability.

My previous experience was as a Creative Graphic Designer for Local World, one of the largest regional media networks in the UK, based at Bristol News & Media. My role involved liaising directly with clients of varying sizes, as well as the internal Events, Marketing and Sales team across all of our regions, to resolve a range of design challenges. Due to my experience with After Effects I was able to open up the creative studio to include in their roster; animation, as a result I created work for the Bristol Shopping Quarter's Interactive Easter Hunt and a dynamic introduction and advertising piece to the up-coming 'Edge Awards' Logo design.

I feel that I have developed myself as a conceptual thinker in this time through taking abstract ideas and developing them into a cohesive and wholly formed piece of visual communication. I have been developing skills across a range of disciplines in order to thrive within this competitive industry and hope to contribute to a team of hard working talented people who will also help me develop as a designer. I have a good eye for detail and have experience of working to deadlines whilst juggling multiple projects. In order to push myself further I am always drawing and animating in my spare time working on individual projects so as to develop my skills across the board and become the best designer I can be.
