Recently, I’ve felt what I think a lot of creatives feel. Stuck in a loop, scrolling for inspiration, convincing myself I was learning, growing, getting closer to the next big idea. But really, I was just delaying the start. Watching instead of making. This project began as a challenge to break that cycle. A way to explore storytelling, strengthen my 2D motion design, and give form to something I’d experienced first-hand. It’s a short film about how easy it is to get lost in other people’s work and how real progress starts when you stop waiting to feel ready. The goal was simple: express something honest, and grow in the process. Click below to see a deep dive into the project.

This project reminded me that creative momentum doesn’t come from passively consuming. By turning a personal struggle into a passion project, I was able to push my animation skills, explore new workflows, and find a clearer voice in how I tell stories through motion.

I'm a brand-led motion designer.

Specialising in motion identities, brand films and explainer videos.
