BASED IN: London (can also work remotely for clients based anywhere)

PROFILE
16 years experience in graphic design for print, corporate identity, new media and motion graphics has made me a
multi-disciplined all round creative designer.

Now focusing solely on my passion for 3D animation and 2D motion graphics I am happily freelancing and always
looking for further opportunities with companies whom I can bring my flare and further my skills. I can criticise and
be criticised, this I feel makes an artist.

I can work on-site in the London area but also fully set up to work remotely for clients based anywhere.
