About me

Since I graduated from the University of the West of England in 2015 with a BA 2.1 (Hons.) in Graphic Design in 2015, I have been working as a freelance motion designer and animator via my own business, Maxmotion.co.uk, where for the past three years I have provided a range of communication services using video, motion graphics and animation for a broad range of clients, including the Electoral Reform Services, the NHS, several County Councils, development agencies such as the African Development Bank and private organisations such as Deloitte, HSBC and TAVAT Eyewear.

I am experienced in working both remotely and in studios, fluent in creating animations with Illustrator, Photoshop and After Effects and have a good understanding of Cinema 4D; comfortable working within brand guidelines yet still giving a project creative air where restrictions or rules are in place. I am also a keen videographer and editor, creating music videos and montages in my free time.

I am a personable and adaptable team player and have experience working both under direction with input from senior designers and directors, as well as working independently, to deliver the whole project, if needs be. I have proven experience in all stages of delivery, from interfacing with clients to help them hone and refine their ideas, then following through with interpretation via storyboarding and finally through execution, to create high quality visual experiences, which communicate and persuade.
