About Me

Motion Designer & Animator

I’m a digital media specialist based in Horsham, England, focused on motion design and animation.

With a background in video production, web development, and social media strategy, alongside years of hands-on experience in animation and motion design, I bring a full-stack understanding to every project. This allows me to translate client briefs into technically sound, strategically aligned, high-quality results.

I’ve also grown and managed successful YouTube channels, Twitter accounts, and TikTok profiles, combining creative direction with data-led strategy to build engaged audiences. Outside of work, I’m dedicated to training and compete at county level in pickleball, applying the same focus and competitive drive to everything I do.

I cannot say enough great things about Tom. He was so helpful from the beginning and what struck me was the detail with which he considered my request and my budget. He was very clear what each level of his service offered and once he understood my context, he made great suggestions as to what would be the best approach. That is why I signed with him to do the work, the attention to detail. He also went far above what I asked for and the delivered work is stellar. This was an unplanned and significant investment for me, but Tom's work is extremely professional and the value totally worth it! Highly recommend Tom for your next project!

Tom did INCREDIBLE work on a book trailer for me. He went above and beyond to fill in details that captured the mood, without me having to spell out every little detail. The video is so professional and atmospheric, I haven't seen almost any video creators with this much talent and attention to detail.
