I am a freelance animator and motion graphics artist, based in London and able to work remotely worldwide. Specialising in 2D character animation, stop motion and infographics, I am able to work in a wide range of styles and techniques ranging from experimental and artistic to clean and corporate. I am expert in Adobe After Effects and also highly proficient with other Adobe graphics and video software.

I have a great deal of experience both in working in a team alongside directors, illustrators, editors and other animators, and in creating complete works by myself from a brief/script. Recently I have gained particular experience working for large charities and NGOs

Notable freelance clients include Plasticine, The Guardian, Kellogs, The BBC, UNICEF, The United Nations Development Program, OHCHR, The International Organisation for Migration, UCL, Video Arts, Wired Video and IATA.

I have also worked extensively with the UK music scene, creating music video and content for Tom Furse (The Horrors) and Because records, as well as print poster, cover and ad designs for Baba Yaga’s Hut, The Quietus and other independent labels, promotors and bands.
