Now...
I’m a Dublin-born creative thinker and doer with 20 years experience of working with award winning TTL, digital and design agencies.
For the past 6 years I’ve been a hands on Creative Director and Design Director, conceiving, managing and producing projects for clients across a variety of sectors.
Passion, commitment and hard work form the basis of my working ethos.
Before...
As a student I attended the internationally acclaimed IADT, and received a BA [ Hons ] for Animation & Film-Production.
From here I moved to London where I cut my teeth at the infamous BOO.COM, working as a digital art director, illustrator and flash animator.
When the BOO bubble burst, I moved to MeCompany to work at Chromasoma, a newly formed division dedicated to character design and animation at the studio.Throughout my time at MeCo I became increasingly inspired by the capabilities of flash both as a director and animator.
My next role was with an award-winning digital team at Random Media. As was the case with MeCo, this was a small crew of hugely skilled multi-disciplined digital makers. We received numerous accolades over the next few years in the areas of web design & interactive gaming for the likes of Sony Playstation and the BBC.
Creating compelling & believable stories has become an increasingly important part of how we communicate our ideas and promote our services - this is a good thing in my opinion.
PYKY Studio
I also run PYKY Studio which outputs bold graphical illustration and though evoking concepts in a recognisable vector style - “Positivity & Freshness”
We currently collaborate with local artists, galleries and community programmes to generate and donate profits to important causes.
We are always looking to work with creative talent from the Brighton area and beyond - if you are reading this and would like ot collaborate or perhaps chat through a project you’d like our input on then we’d love to hear from you!
