Customer & Product Manager

"Simon has an absolute gift for creating exceptional motion graphics and incredibly special videos.
During our time working together, Simon created a number of videos for both our company but more importantly customers of all sizes and industries, spanning entertainment, financial services, science, hospitality, retail, and so much more. His vision and eye for detail creates something really special, on one occasion reducing a customer to tears when revealing a first edit. It was *that* good!

Simon's work ethic is something that needs calling out. His talent for video editing at speed is unmatched, he'll go over and above to deliver without dropping any quality in the process.
He's transformed ways of working across the team and has been a real asset while we've worked together."
