About me

Working freelance as a motion graphics artist/animator, illustrator, print designer and more recently web design, I have commercial experience in branding, advertising as well as art direction, design, photography, live events and tv/video production. I am extremely passionate about creativity and design. I place a strong emphasis on ideas, aesthetics, style, quality and detail. I plan to continue producing moving imagery and illustration for a variety of media and applications.

I am highly skilled in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign and QuarkXpress, whilst having a good working knowledge of many other software packages and production methods. Good XHTML & CSS with some PHP and JAVA.

I have worked in theatre, television, print production, advertising and multimedia production, both as a technician and as a creative. While perfectly happy working solo, I am a strong team player who enjoys problem solving and challenging projects.
