My new website is live! The old one was just a portfolio. This one goes further, sharing the work I do, who I work with, and a space for experiments + behind-the-scenes. Thanks to @daveyjayyy for the design 🙌 decimal.work

If you’re working on interior scenes and need high-quality models to populate your space, dimensiva.com/ is a great resource. I’ve used a few of their models before, but they were essential in a recent client project where we needed a modern look fast.

I love @cgpov 's ChatGPT Redshift Render Assistant, super helpful for optimising render performance. Also, am I the only one who pictures Chad’s face talking back when reading the instructions? 🤣

I’ve been implementing something I call “Friday, Play day” this year, which is, to basically give myself some space to create, just for the fun of it, every week. Recently, that play has been in @cavalry.app. I’m very new to it, but here’s some of the fun I’ve been having.

Don't always waste time trying to do everything perfectly. Sometimes, quick and dirty gets results, and that's okay. Sure, a complex particle setup for these light streaks would be more controlled, but this was easy and effective.

Don’t just drop quotes into your emails. Impress clients with a polished proposal. Even if it's early-stage or rough figures. Price alone shouldn't win them over; your professionalism, expertise & talent should. Thread 🧵 #ClientSuccess #BusinessTips #Freelance

Sometimes the best way to start the grind is to pause first. Took a quiet hill walk with my wife this morning, soaked in the view, cleared my head. Now I’m feeling motivated and ready for the week.

I had a lot of fun focusing in on the details while on holiday in Spain last week. It's amazing, all the patterns and colours you can find by looking a bit closer at what's around you.

Just picked up The Art of Sport by Matthew Beal — a beautifully made collection of quirky, human-centric AI-generated art. It’s weird and inspiring. Highly recommend. Link below.

It’s easy to forget to move when you work from home, especially in a creative, desk-heavy job like motion design. But long hours without breaks take a real toll on your health. I should know, it led to long-term health problems for me. A short daily walk can make a big difference

A few more things that have helped me: – Set a timer to move every hour – Daily walks (even short ones!) – Yoga or Pilates for posture + mobility – Swimming for low-impact, full-body movement Your body will thank you later.

Creative work isn’t magic—it’s process. A clear pipeline makes complex projects smoother, faster, and easier to collaborate on.
