About me

Hey there,

To confirm the information in my CV I went freelance in 2008 having created a graphics department The Moving Company London from 2000. I was with the company for over 8 years and had a fantastic and productive time working with world-renowned directors including Woody Allen and Tim Burton. The department I created was highly successful and generated profits within 6 months of its creation.

Since going freelance I have been extremely fortunate to work on some very exciting projects. I designed George Michael's and Billy Connolly's tour visuals and directed and animated a plethora of high profile projects for Blue chip clients including BP, Novartis and Redbull. This was achieved as both a freelance vfx/motion graphics and my senior role as a Director and Creative Director at Orchard, a company I formed to complete larger projects with the help of a team of talented artists I have worked with for over a decade. I was also Creative Director for the vfx team at Zoo Vfx that won an Emmy for David Attenborough's first life in 2011.

I have lead teams of creatives from 5 to 30 strong. I have very strong leadership and creative lead skills and have formed very strong client and artist relationships which I would bring to any role.

The qualities and experience I have gained have been invaluable and I feel confident I will be a great addition to your team. I can take any project from conception to delivery and offer a level of service and expertise I am proud of. I also have access to several fully speced workstations through Orchard, including all relevant software and an in-house render farm. This also includes full 4k production capabilities and a 100mb internet connection for remote working. I also have several juniors working under me for projects on smaller budgets.
