Profile:


I’m a designer, animator, and creative lead with over two decades of experience creating motion and design work for some of the world’s most recognised brands, including Google, MTV, Disney, Virgin, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Universal, and Sony.

My background spans advertising, branding, and marketing communication, but the common thread has always been storytelling through design. I enjoy turning ideas into something tangible, taking a thought, shaping it, and bringing it to life through motion. A well-timed movement, a rhythm in the edit, or a perfectly balanced frame can turn information into emotion.

I’ve worked both independently and within agencies and studio teams, leading projects from concept to delivery and collaborating closely with other steakholders and marketing departments. Whether shaping a brand system, building motion toolkits, creating scroll stopping social ads or crafting campaign films, I focus on clarity, creativity, and connection.

Above all, I believe design should feel alive, accessible, and when suitable more than a little bit fun. That’s the energy I try to bring to every project.
