Home/Freelance motion designer

A freelance motion designer you actually talk to.

If you're looking to hire a freelance animator rather than brief an agency, that's exactly what this is. One experienced UK motion designer, working directly with you, making explainer videos, VSLs, product demos and social content without the agency layers or the agency invoice.

Why hire freelance for this

Hiring a freelance motion designer for a video makes sense for the same reason it doesn't for a fifty-person campaign: focus. A single high-stakes explainer or VSL benefits from one experienced person who owns it end to end, not a relay team where the brief gets diluted at every handover. You brief me, I make it, you talk to me the whole way through.

It's also simply better value. With a freelancer you're paying for the work, not for a salesperson, a project manager and an office. My rates land well below agency prices while the craft stays the same, because the craft is the bit I actually do all day.

I specialise, deliberately. Clean 2D motion design for SaaS, finance and healthcare, in a handful of formats I know inside out: explainers, VSLs, product demos and social content. If your project is one of those, you'll get someone who's done it many times before. Agencies can also hire me white-label.
