Remote Freelance Motion Graphic Designer

Creative & Design

NEW DEMO REEL

I would describe myself as a curious and meticulous creative with a passion for art, design, film, music, snowboarding, rock-climbing, hiking, an obvious penchant for the moving pixel and a cautious curiosity for emerging AI workflows. Superb working knowledge of the Adobe Suite particularly After Effects, Illustrator and Photoshop. Highly organised, great communication skills, an expert eye for composition, colour, typography and the 12 principles of animation. <iframe class="ql-video" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" src="https://gmproduce.net/" width="100%"></iframe> Gx

Since the lockdown I have shifted my focus to motion graphics and animation as it has always been a passion of mine and pursuing this feels more like I'm on the right path. I’ve had the good fortune to make great work for some pretty high profile clients including Snowboard Addiction, Innocent Drinks, NJ Devils (NHL), Philadelphia Eagles and Pittsburgh Steelers (NFL) but am open to any and all opportunities within the action sports/outdoor industries which is where my main source of inspiration comes from.
