About me

I have 12 years of broadcast motion design experience working within Sky Creative (Sky News) at BSkyB in West London.
During this time I have designed and executed a wide variety of graphics, either live to air, or for major design projects, which have involved title sequences and commercial sponsorships.

Around my full time role, I have enjoyed some opportunities to do compositing work for music promos for the Ting Tings, Yazoo and Fujiya & Miyagi.

My most recent project was a major role in the design and implementation of the General Election Campaign coverage, the Sky News Leaders' Debate and most recently, the General Election HD results programme itself, which was the launch pad for Sky News as a HD channel.

These related projects have keenly tested my project and time management skills to deliver quality creative work, to multiple project TX deadlines in both HD and SD, as well as the delivery and policing of project brand assets to Sky News online and mobile platforms.

My time spent being immersed in a breaking news environment has taught me to produce creative work under pressure, and to be responsive and adaptable to change when required. I have also had experience of team leading the live news design area, where I have been responsible for leading the design team and co-ordinating workflow.

Working on longer term projects has enabled me more time to focus on the creative and project management side of my skillset, as well as the time to foster in-house and external client relationships.

When I have worked on sponsorship idents, these projects have required close collaboration with Sky Creative's production, visual effects and promotion teams. They have also given me the opportunity to be involved in external commercially orientated work

I have worked with blue chip clients and their respective advertising agencies, including the Business Newspaper, who's agency, Mediacom, adopted my sponsorship concept for their client's advertising campaign.
