I’m an award-winning designer, illustrator, 2D animator, writer and creative lead with over thirty years’ industry experience.
Based in the North East of England, I produce high quality digital design, artwork and motion graphics for all sectors with an emphasis on social consciousness, cultural heritage and making complex and important topics accessible through compelling visual narratives. My role includes excellent client and stakeholder communication, HD artwork production and experienced design consultation.
I’ve worked successfully on character design, animated videos, digital branding, commercial writing and illustration. Having worked on a vast variety of large and small-scale projects within commercial and educational industries and with teams of various sizes and skill bases, I can tailor my working to leading the creative vision on large products as well as event design, animated videos and interactives.

Showreel
"Scott was welcomed to Headlight by our service users because he was understanding and empathetic in his work. He provided the safe space for service users to talk about their Mental Health journey. It's been great working with Scott on this project, seeing the creativity unfold over the workshops has been nothing short of inspirational."
Beth Miller, Sunderland Headlight
"We really value Scott’s creative input into the assets for our shows. He listens to our ideas and requirements and puts a really appealing, audience focused spin on them. He has a great work ethic too, responsive and timely in delivery. "
Carole Wears, CaroleW Productions
"It's been such a pleasure to work with Scott. His creativity has elevated our project to a really high level. He’s a great talent but also super organised and reliable, essential for remote team working. Hope to work with him again in the near future. "
Jane Corry, Chief Executive & Artistic Director, Norden Farm
"His creative work for the branch has been professional, engaging and full of character. In addition though, Scott went absolutely above and beyond on this project for us, offering his skills and expert advice every step of the way, leaving us with a finished product that we couldn't be more proud of. "
Melanie Hunter, Media Coordinator at RSPCA Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside
"Perhaps what I am most impressed is Scott’s formidable intelligence and creativity when storytelling. Similarly mindboggling is Scott’s extremely impressive work rate, he is able to turn around TV quality animations with lightning speed!"
Pete Wells, writer and educator
"To simply refer to Scott as a designer would be a serious miscarriage of justice. The world is full of ‘jacks of all trades’ but Scott is a rare ‘master of many’. A seriously talented illustrator, graphic designer, creative thinker and digital designer, Scott’s talents don’t end here. As a major force in the poetry world, his command of words and heartstrings give him a serious edge when it comes to storytelling and creative comms. But most importantly, he’s seriously funny (if there’s such a thing), honest and fiercely loyal. Without these things, nothing else matters."
