A freelance graphic designer
specialising in motion graphics,
based in East Sussex.
With over eighteen years in the creative industry, I've built a career defined by movement, storytelling and craft. It began with a foundation in typography, layout and visual communication — studies that earned me a D&AD Student Award nomination for my work with Windows Phone 7, which led to a formative placement at Mother London, one of the UK's most prestigious advertising agencies.
From there I spent years working across London and the South East, embedded in design studios and agencies as a graphic designer, retoucher, layout designer, but carved out my niche as a motion designer. Taking static designs and bringing them to life for client pitches, campaigns, explainer videos and marketing stings. Working in industries like banking, insurance, property, retail, healthcare and various charities — including work for Barclays, HSBC, Boots, WH Smith, RNLI and Crest Nicholson.
I went on to found my own studio, Boom Create, delivering motion graphics and animation to high-profile clients including Equifax, PayPal, Blackberry, Honda, Liverpool FC, Merlin Group, Flannels and LexisNexis. I've had work displayed on three-storey shop windows on Oxford Street, on jumbotrons in NHL stadiums, and even in the Tate Modern.
I'm highly proficient in After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign — tools I've used daily for nearly two decades to bring ideas to life across screen and print. Whether it's compositing, working with 3D, 2D explainer videos or brand identity, I approach every project with the same love and care. To quote a former Creative Director I worked under — "Every studio needs a Ben".
