I wanted to to create a video for Beppe Green that had an upbeat, summertime feel and which followed the narrative of the track but, at the same time, felt nonsensical and almost trippy. The character of Beppe seemed to me to be timeless and so combining images from the 20s through to the present felt fitting and meant that I could go crazy with a collage of photographs, bright colours and bold graphics.

Natia supports people affected by cancer by providing easy access to mind–body techniques, including yoga, meditation, music, and conversation.

The creatives at Nalla developed a visual identity for the Natia App along with a set of brand assets. I then animated all the content for the app from instructional yoga poses to looping icons for guided meditations. This intro video aims to outline the intention of the app while showcasing the brand identity.

While at CNN I designed and animated this short animation to illustrate just a few excerpts of the voice messages sent by a young woman, trapped in Raqqa, to her mother. The woman's voice has been distorted to preserve anonymity.

An online commercial for the Royal Academy of Art's exhibition 'Radical Geometry'.

This exhibition explores the art produced during a fifty-year period in distinct areas of South America and my brief was to bring the images to life – really showing colour, movement and objects moving beyond the frame.

A series of Stings I created for Box TV for a 4 Music series called How To Date... each Sting illustrates a different segment in the show in which we find out How To Date a Popstar.

Title sequence created for a chart show currently airing on 4Music and Smash Hits.

Box TV asked me to design and animate a promo telling their viewers about a competition run jointly between Kiss and Currys PC World where they can win tech prizes that will enhance their summer. The aesthetic needed to fit in with existing Currys PC World advertising and also appeal to the viewers of Kiss. So we settled on a clean white background and a colour palette incorporating the purple and blue in Currys PC World branding along with fun illustrations of bikinis, ice creams and sunglasses!

30 sec promo to advertise 'Magic at the Movies' month, a season of movie related programming on Magic.
