Jamie B Burton C.V.
Illustrative Motion & Graphic Designer
Summary
I’m a reliable, friendly & professional Illustrative Motion & Graphic Designer. My early working life started in music production & live sound. I later retrained in Design & Motion Graphics having discovered that design & animation could be both my work and my passion.
I’ve spent the last 8 years working freelance for large corporates & small businesses. I love contributing to a team & I’ve found that whilst being a freelancer, I’ve become very good at taking the lead & working solo on projects, managing them from start to finish.
I’m a husband of 1 & dad of 2. I love pretty much anything involving swords, animation, whiskey & music.
