I’m a Motion Designer and Illustrator specialising in 2D animation, hand-drawn motion, and visual storytelling. I create engaging motion work ranging from character animation and hand-drawn illustrations to motion graphics and seamless looping animations. My style can adapt depending on the project, from handmade and expressive visuals to clean and structured design work. I have experience in animation and illustration projects, including digital commissions and stylised motion work inspired by Japanese animation. You can view my showreel to see my animation and motion design work. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to discuss your project.
