Hello there! I’m Dane. I’m a freelance motion designer and illustrator from Sydney, Aus.
I wrangled my first animation out of Powerpoint 🤷♂️ in the early 2000s and have been animating, illustrating and designing professionally for 15+ years. Since 2016 I have been working direct to client as a freelancer, as well as collaborating with studios and creatives worldwide.
I’ve worked on projects for ABC, Adobe, CommBank, eBay, Flatmates.com.au, LEGO, Tyro and others. I love building an animation from scratch but am just as keen to bring other artists work to life. Flexibility is something I pride myself on.
In my personal work I love creating quirky characters and tiny colourful stories, crafting them into little loops.
If you’d like to have a chat about potential jobs/collaborations or the latest episode of The Mandalorian - send me an electronic raven!
