Illustration

I've always deeply enjoyed making 'traditional' artwork since a young age and still do. Illustration is a skill which I utilise in my designs and broader workload where necessary, applying myself in a variety of arenas; from spritely, energising cartoon characters to classical paintings with a mood to capture beyond the subject.

Animation & Film Editing

When creating animations my focus is to elevate design, exuding life and character, giving things 'a pulse' can boost engagement and add value to both brands and marketing campaigns alike. I'm also experienced in editing film.

"He [Michael] is, without a doubt, an exceptional designer. Whether the objective was building awareness or simply selling more – the end result was always a focus for Michael and he would design with the end goal of looking great but also being on brand and meeting the objective. There was nothing that Michael wasn’t great at, but I would say his digital and brand work really blew me away."

"I met Michael last year and found him to be very likeable. I was struck by his wonderful narrative skills and his seemingly effortless communication style. His breadth and depth of knowledge is outstanding … I was not prepared for the detail oriented nature of his work and his great choice of ocular and subject.
Michael is an artist, technologist and raconteur…
is clearly passionate and diligent in all that he does and as such would be a great asset in any team or scenario.
Ignore him at your peril!"
