About

I'm David, a motion design generalist with over 25 years of industry experience covering motion graphics, TV branding, film, VFX, and both commercial and corporate production.

A keen storyteller, I take a multidisciplinary approach that blends deep technical knowledge of the entire production pipeline with a sharp eye for detail. I'm an energetic, creative thinker who thrives in collaborative environments, whether that's a large team or a small group. I love evolving ideas and tackling creative or technical challenges.

I’m at ease working in 2D and 3D animation, CGI, graphics, and live action, often combined to craft elegant, story-led motion.

I started my career as a Flash animator, then moved into film and video after discovering After Effects (I'm not saying which version). As home computers became more powerful, my fascination with CGI grew alongside the hardware and professional tools that evolved to make it possible.

I learned the basics of professional compositing at Jim Henson's Creature Shop before the London branch sadly closed. Next, I joined AVANTI Screenmedia, working on commercial and research‑based projects that tested the impact of digital outdoor advertising.

Television followed, and I spent nearly a decade at RED BEE Creative. Here I developed my understanding of TV production, creating promos, trailers, and channel branding for the BBC, UKTV Networks, and other international TV networks.

Since 2018, I've worked as a Freelance Motion Designer, collaborating with studios and direct clients. My projects include work for MTV, BBC Studios, BBC Creative, ITV Creative, UKTV, Warner Bros Discovery, John Lewis, and Siemens, plus several other high‑profile brands that prefer to keep a low profile.
