Step-by-step working process

Briefing & Research

Every project starts with listening. Through research and dialogue, I take time to understand the story, context, and values behind the request, so the visual direction grows from meaning rather than assumptions.

Visual Development & Storyboard

Based on the briefing, I define the visual language and narrative structure of the illustration or animation. Sketches and storyboards help translate ideas into images, giving the client a clear sense of tone, rhythm, and intention before production begins.

Animation & Movement

At this stage, characters and elements gain presence through movement. Rigging and animation are used not just to create motion, but to support emotion, gesture, and storytelling, allowing the narrative to unfold naturally.

Editing & Finalisation

The final phase brings everything together. Editing, colour correction, sound, and pacing are carefully refined to support the story. When needed, voice-overs and subtitles are integrated to ensure clarity and accessibility.

Giving shape to products and abstract ideas through illustration and motion design, is the best way to give them a voice too.
