I'm an animator, illustrator and digital designer with over 12 years' experience who strives to infuse everything I work on with passion, wit and personality.
    I am extremely proficient in the use of Flash, Photoshop, After Effects and Illustrator, and well versed in animation for both TV and the web, illustration, character design and digital design.
    Having spent the last 3 years working as a senior designer & animator with sole responsibilty for the online presence of Felix (the pet food legend, not the wobbly armed fella), I moved out of London and back to my homeland and back out into the heady world of the freelancer. Since returning to freelance work, I have produced work for Blackberry, Nestle Purina, Mousebreaker Games and Nokia among others. Please take a look around my site, if you like what you see and think I can help your project achieve its goals, don't hesitate to get in touch.
