Alex Blades

I am a creative and technical motion graphics designer and animator based in Bristol. I am a passinate about design and always aim to deliver high quality work. I have over 15 years’ experience working in design studios producing content for international clients, such as the BBC, Channel 4, Warner Bros and Ericsson.

After leaving university I began working at a studio as a junior designer, creating motion graphics for television broadcasters. While there I was trained in a wide variety of motion graphics and VFX tasks.

Over the next ten years I became a senior designer regularly producing broadcast quality motion graphics and animation content. I then began a period of freelance work, primarily working on animations promoting pop culture merchandise for American clients.

I then accepted a full time position at Bristol based creative agency, Harleys, providing motion graphics across multiple projects for the company’s international clients.
