Leigh in a few words
15+ years of motion graphic design in brand, storytelling, social, campaigns, presentations and video editing. From helping with process, script, storyboarding, to illustration, animation and delivery.
I’ve worked across almost all sectors including Finance, Pharmaceutical, Creative, Telecoms, IT, Banking, Fintech, Startup, Marketing and Government.
Presentations, animations and videos as standalone part of a corporate deck, explainers, pitches, social or part of integrated brand campaigns from character led animations to 3D brand marks. My experience of motion, graphic design, digital design, print and brand helps make me a driven and strong all-rounder, creative. Creative, collaborative, productive, efficient, reliable and easy to work with (my clients say).
