I am a freelance creative director, motion designer, editor and visual researcher based in London.

I have over fifteen years experience working in the design industry, having had full time positions at INTRO and Why Not Associates before going freelance in 2013. In this time I have made work for a broad range of clients, creating and designing content across a wide range of sectors and contexts including large scale live events and projection mapping; branding and motion language development; video creation and editing; titles for film and television; and promotional trailers for cinema, web and socials.

I work predominantly across the arts and visual cultures sectors, and balance freelance design work with my own visual art practice. This means I have a unique perspective and references to draw upon for design, direction and visual research projects.

Clients and collaborators include: Tinloof, Somerset House, The Photographers’ Gallery, Kate Dawkins Studio, BBC, Channel 4, Tate Gallery, Communion Studio, Uncommon, Mother Design, Wolff Olins, Why Not Associates, Yoko Ono and Wallpaper*

 Exhibition Trailers
 Client: The Photographers’ Gallery

I work often with The Photographers’ Gallery to produce their exhibition promotional trailers for web and social media use.

Each trailer responds and expands upon the exhibition design and the work of the artists in the exhibition. Below examples include work for the exhibitions Evelyn Hofer; Bert Hardy; Chris Killip: A Retrospective; A Hard Man Is Good To Find; Deutsche Börse Foundation Photography Prize; An Alternative History of Photography.
