Since 2000 I have been employed by design, advertising, branding and production companies to assist designers and directors in the design, animation, post production and high quality final delivery of their animated online, out of home, and broadcast content. I usually work as the animation specialist within a design team supported by creative leads and artworkers.

My main specialism is Adobe After Effects, though I am proficient with the rest of the Adobe Suite, with some experience of 3D and colour grading software. I am primarily a 2D animator and motion graphic artist. I can edit and I can composite, but I am neither a long form editor or a feature film quality VFX artist. Similarly, I can colour balance shots but I am not a fully experienced Colorist. I can animate in 3D but I am not a 3D modeller or animator. I can use Illustrator but I am not an artworker or illustrater.

I try to develop skills and knowledge of wider aspects of animation and grading, and maintain a calibrated HDR home finishing suite. I am interested in the improved monitoring and delivery specifications required for Dolby Vision and Atmos.
