ABOUT
My name's Ryan, a digital and motion designer working in London, originally from chelmsford. It’s been an exciting adventure getting here, working with some incredible brands and creating all kinds of creative projects along the way!
Take a look at a bit more about my process, background, a little about me and enjoy some of my favourite photos along the way.

Strategy + Discovery
Before we even think about what we want to do and how, let’s really nail what the end goal of the project is and what it might look like. This might seem like staring at a blank piece of paper, so let’s look around, see what others have done and get a realistic idea of what we should do.

Nice, we have a pretty solid plan. Time for me to tuck myself into a quiet corner and finish off rounding the corners, framing the frames and curving the curves.
How did we get here?
I first started making things on the computer when I was a teen, I was really into mountain biking and kept needing to repair my bike. I was too young for a part-time job but knew enough to find a free copy of Photoshop online. I logged onto one of those freelancer platforms and was making logos for £40 a peice.
Fast forward a few years and I had managed to download most of the Adobe suite by this point, still into mountain biking, I started making videos for my friends, I got pretty obsessed with this. I was teaching myself how to work with all this software through youtube tutorials. Those years seemed to fly by and suddenly it was time to go university, however it wasn’t really what I hoped for. All those years of Youtube tutorials, university felt a bit slow. So I dropped out after a couple few months and went to searching for a way to learn more about the industry.
I found myself in London working for a early stage start-up design studio that specialised in UI/UX. After a few years I was bouncing between UI/UX projects and Motion Graphics, key theme ultimately was creative problem solving, and a fixation with software that I felt I needed to master.
I began leading the motion design side of the agency, learning more about the business process of studios. Taking this knowledge I left to try out the freelance world, I wanted to be more nimble with my projects and focus on doing the kind of work I enjoyed, or at least give it good go.
I like other stuff too...
Although living in London I still find most of my joy with the outdoors and long days in nature. I like riding about on my bike, running, sailing and skiing. All as often as I get the opportunity, doing all of this usually with a tiny camera around my neck.

Always looking for a busy day.
