Hello, I’m Sam — a UK-based freelance motion designer and animator working across commercials, branding, broadcast, music videos, and everything in between.

I work closely with agencies, studios, and creative teams to turn ideas into thoughtful, production-ready motion. Whether I’m joining an established team or taking a project from concept through to delivery, I bring senior-level craft, creative problem-solving, and a calm, reliable approach when deadlines are tight.

I also work directly with in-house marketing and communications teams, providing the same level of experience and creative expertise without the agency layer.
