Failed musician and ex-skateboarder, now moving pixels for a living.
I began my creative career in the early 2000s as a freelance graphic designer, mostly working on gig posters and flyers for techno nights in London.
My first full-time roles as a graphic designer were in the magazine industry, working with photography and layout, repro departments and editors; I certainly honed my design skills but I wanted more. I began to teach myself animation and motion design and eventually got hired by eLearning creative agency PurpleMedia.
PM are a great fit for me, 'industry troublemakers', they constantly push creative boundaries. I have enjoyed my progression up the ranks from designer to lead designer to my current role as creative director. I manage a team of amazing creatives and work with some of the worlds biggest brands.
My family time is important and I balance my work/life carefully. As the Altimas clan gets older I have more time to explore personal projects and take on freelance work that offers creative freedom and flexibility.
