From working out the idea to making it.

Bring an approved direction or something that’s still hard to explain.

I understand the business, develop the visual story, then illustrate, design and animate it.

One person carrying the thinking and the making 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

    Concepts, messaging and storyboards, developed with your team.

  • Design and animation

    A connected approach from the visual idea to the finished work.

  • Production experience

    A clear scope, review stages and schedule to keep the project moving.

From brand assets to brand films.

Product demos, technical explainers, launch films and motion graphics. Whole projects or a defined piece of the work.

Have a project coming up?

Send me the brief and your deadline. We can talk through what you need and how I can fit into your team.

Do you work with Sydney and Melbourne teams?

Yes. I am based in Byron Bay and I work remotely. Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are the same working day. Los Angeles and San Francisco overlap with my morning.

Can you work with our existing designs?

Yes. I can animate your brand assets, work from a storyboard or develop the design with your team.

Can you help with the idea as well?

Yes. I can help with concepts, messaging, scripting and storyboards, as well as design and animation.

Can you work to a tight deadline?

Tell me what's involved and when you need it. I'll let you know what's achievable and help plan the work around the time available.
