I'm Gavin, an animator, illustrator & graphic designer. I'm also a keynote speaker and online tutor for Adobe in the UK. Clients I have regularly freelanced for clients including The NBA, Microsoft and Sony Music.
Since 2001 I have been working with global brands in editorials, advertising, conceptual, branding and character development. I'm drawn to lighting effects, photo-illustration and compositing, creating a sense of movement via kinetic and electric energy. My style is a helpful and unique tool in the formation of brand language in advertising, illustration and web projects and is appreciated by clients worldwide.

Conducted a series of live online tutorials on Adobe UK's YouTube channel, focusing on real-time Photoshop manipulations and double exposures.

This outreach facilitated my role as a creative educator, aiding a broad audience of aspiring artists and professionals.
Illustrator - The NBA
As one of the 12 illustrators selected by the NBA, I created a series of dynamic basketball photo manipulations over a 12-month period. These vibrant illustrations, specifically tailored for the NBA's social media channels, showcased my innovative approach to design, while contributing to the organization's visual storytelling and enhancing their online brand presence.
