About me

edited-15.png

Paul Emery

I began my career as an engineer, following in the footsteps of my dad, his dad, and the generations before us. I spent many years in the manufacturing sector until life took an unexpected turn, giving me the chance to pause, rebuild, and rethink the direction I wanted my future to take.

​

During that time, I chose to give back and reconnect with people in a more meaningful way, spending few years supporting autistic adults. It was a grounding experience that reshaped how I saw myself and the kind of work I wanted to pursue.

​

Alongside this, I rediscovered my passion for digital arts. I began building my portfolio through the graphic design and promotional work I created for my rock band, which opened the door to a new chapter.

​

That path led me to Leeds Beckett University’s School of Arts, where I studied Creative Media Technology. I quickly gravitated toward motion graphics, 3D modelling, and animation, areas where I excelled and achieved strong results in my final assessments.

​

Today, I’m focused on bringing together my technical background, creative drive, and storytelling instincts to produce motion‑driven, visually compelling work.

​

​

"When I’m not animating and designing, you’ll usually find me making things with my hands with arts, crafts and music, heading out for long walks with the dog, surf skating, gym and having fun with an active lifestyle". 

​

I am a reliable, creative motion designer with a calm, down-to-earth approach, and effective communication skills. I work confidently both independently and within a team, and my experience supporting autistic adults has strengthened my ability to understand people’s needs and collaborate with patience and clarity.

​

I bring a mix of logical problem-solving and outside-the-box thinking to every project, with hands-on experience across Adobe Creative Cloud, music production tools, and video-editing software.

​

I am enthusiastic about visual storytelling, entertainment, art and music, and I’m committed to producing high-quality, well-crafted motion graphics.

​

​

My style moves between bright, modern minimalism and darker, alternative aesthetics, always driven by rhythm, flow, and a strong sense of motion.
