Iain has pulled together a fantastic SharePoint site for our client, working really collaboratively with me and nothing phases him, absolute pleasure to work with, knows his stuff and is great at problem solving, has great ideas, and just a generally all round great person to work with, thanks Iain...

Thank you Iain for sprinkling your magic on the The recent sponsor video. The final product was brilliant. But my hero nomination goes out to you for more than what you turn to gold, you are also just so lovely to work with. Upbeat and happy, calm and focused under pressure and fabulous at coming up with solutions to issues that pop up along the way. I'm so glad that we'll be working together on the programme in the coming months!

Thank you Iain for your creative brilliance with the client programme Visual Identity. Not only does it look amazing, but you were instrumental in obtaining approval from Group Communications for the ID (no small feat!). Feedback from the Head of Group Communications was that it looks "fresh, professional and slick." No wonder you have a fan club 😉

Your efforts in support of the recent Senior Leaders Team Conference were exemplary, the Future State Animation, Talking Heads Video two shining and sparkling examples of the outstanding work that you lead on. Wonderful job Iain and a massive thank you from me, your Afiniti colleagues and from the Client!

Lauren Thomas

Project Team / afiniti
Iain, you've gone above and beyond this week. I didn't think it was physically possible to make an animation in the timeframe that you did - but you proved me wrong. Thank you for your unbelievable dedication to the team (and client) this week, you have helped us make so much ground with the deliverables and that has definitely not gone unnoticed!

Caroline Morley

Partner / afiniti
Iain has done a fantastic job (as ever) with the NR Data Science creative work. The designs are different (but inkeeping with NR branding), engaging, striking, and reflect the project so well. The client is delighted with everything and keen to work with us again very soon. Thank you Iain!

Lynn Stopper

Business Support Supervisor / EOS Europe
We have always been very impressed with Iain's attention to detail and the personal approach. He knows what's looks good and what will catch the attention of others. We will continue to work with Iain and highly recommend him to others.

a bit about me

I believe that life is for living, so love to travel the world and capture beautiful places and experiences. I also practice ‘everything in moderation’ so balance out the active side of life with passion for cooking, as well as a thirst for craft beer and Whisky.

Being obsessed with anything audiovisual, so listen to a lot of old and new music on a daily basis and enjoy watching films (via an overly intricate audiophile quality home cinema setup).

I appreciate you taking the time to check out my work and get to know me a little. Feel free to contact me.
