Ethics
Collaborative by nature, professional in practice. I work closely with designers, strategists and clients to deliver quality work on time — with a genuine respect for the skills and personalities around me.
Design development, implementation, and artworking
Ensuring brand expression delivers on its purpose. Rooted in print, advertising and brand, I provide technical and workflow solutions — from guidelines and templates to artworks and print tests — across both digital and print formats.
As digital continues to evolve, I stay at the forefront of emerging tools and workflows, including the integration of AI for workflow automation, process optimisation and research — finding smarter ways to work without compromising on craft or quality. Skilled in typography, layout, photo retouching and presentations.
3D Visualisation and motion
Photorealistic and stylised imagery, 2D/3D motion, and film compositing. A strong blend of creative vision and technical expertise, with a deep interest in photography, cinematography, materials, arts and science.
Filming
Brand films, interviews and content for Faber, McKinsey, Daimler, AllianzGI, British Heart Foundation and BNP Paribas (via Wolff Olins). Experienced in using film as a strategic and design tool for pitches, presentations and social. Own kit: Bmpcc 6K, Aputure lighting, Zoom H5, Rode NTG3.
Photography
Self-taught, with a focus on lighting and image creation to complement 3D work. From pitch visuals and guideline templates to event documentation, portraits and design assets. Created and delivered a popular 6-part 'Photography for Beginners' lunchtime course at Wolff Olins.
Technology, research and development
Always experimenting and evolving. R&D across Gaussian Splatting, AI and emerging technologies. Recently upgraded to the latest Nvidia graphics card and custom PC optimised for 3D rendering and production.
