About
I’m a character and design led Creative Director. My 20 years in animation covers playful narrative driven commercials, video games and digital media projects with a heavy dose of fun and varied design styles.
I’ve directed for some of the largest global brands including Apple, Riot Games, Meta, National Geographic, Huawei and more. I also make weird and wonderful illustrations and animations themed around my childhood trauma of nosebleeds and hotdogs.
My work has been screened internationally and gathered numerous awards and nominations including Gold for Best 2D Animation at Ciclope.
I’ve spoken at conferences such as Us By Night and Access VFX. I’m also frequently invited to run workshops at universities and be part of the judging panel for animation film festivals.
I also run a highly celebrated fried chicken shop in Canning Town called LFC - Lam Fried Chicken. I’m currently in the process of renovating a space in South East London to turn into a 1920s style Chinese tea house that serves one dish only: Pork & Rice
My illustration work: Porkhand
Previous studios include:
Animade, The Mill, Nexus Studios, Cartoon Network, Honeyslug, Sherbet, Sony, Imagination and Airside.
