From working out the idea to making it.
Some projects arrive with a clear storyboard. Others start with a product, a pile of information and a message that hasn’t quite landed.
I can help at either stage. I work with your team to decide what matters, find the visual approach and carry it through design and animation.
You work directly with me, whether you need support on one part or someone to take the project through.
I am based in Byron Bay and work remotely with teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
-
Story and visual direction

-
Design and animation

-
Production experience
A clear scope, review stages and schedule to keep the project moving.
From brand assets to brand films.
Logo animation, campaign graphics, social content, product demos and films. Different formats, each with its own audience and purpose.
