Dafydd Jones

I’m Dafydd Ryan Jones but you can call me Daf.

I’m a freelance Senior Motion Designer and general video Swiss Army knife.

I love working as a freelancer on projects, focussing all my skills towards one goal and working with new briefs and new, unique insights from talented teams every time. I like swooping in with a fresh set of eyes and being given a nice tasty problem to solve.
