who am i?

Leigh Dowding

With over 20 years of experience in motion graphics and graphic design, I bring a wealth of expertise to the table. My extensive background in brand, storytelling, social, campaigns, presentations and video editing makes me a well-rounded and versatile motion graphic designer.

Throughout my career, I have worked with a variety of industries, including finance, pharmaceuticals, creative, telecoms, IT, banking, fintech, startups, marketing, and government.

My diverse skill set and passion for motion graphics, digital design, print and branding make me a highly creative and productive team player. My clients appreciate my reliability and collaborative approach to projects, which consistently results in high-quality, effective motion graphic design videos and presentations. I especially like working with organisations that have never ventured into the world of animated storytelling and messaging.
