Hello! I’m Simon – a freelance motion graphics designer based in London.

I create bold, characterful animation for brands, agencies, and start-ups across the UK and beyond.

With over 15 years of experience, I specialise in motion design that blends story-driven thinking with technical precision – from campaign content and explainer videos to animated social media graphics.

Tools like After Effects and Cinema 4D help me bring each idea to life with style and flexibility.
