Hey, I’m James.

Motion designer. Animator.
Occasional script engineer.

I’m a freelance motion designer who brings illustrations, stories, and ideas to life through animation. I enjoy finding the timing, transitions, and little details that make a piece feel right.

I also make After Effects scripts—usually because I’ve caught myself doing the same tedious task one too many times. Some become tools for other animators. Others just make the next project a little smoother.

Whether you’re building a brand, telling a story, or making something entirely new, I’d love to hear what you have in mind.

Let’s make
something move.
