Freelance Animator

16+ years of experience to tackle your motion needs.
Let’s make something awesome together

Hello, I’m Matthew Creed, a Cardiff-based freelance animator and motion designer.

Since 2007, I’ve collaborated with brands, game developers, and musicians to bring their visuals and ideas to life.

Whether you’re a startup needing your first explainer video or a global agency looking for a veteran animator to plug into your workflow, I provide the technical expertise and creative problem-solving needed to get the job done right.

Why work with me?

I focus on the details that make an audience stop scrolling. My background as a co-founder of an award-winning studio (Jammy Custard) taught me that animation is only successful if it meets your business goals.

I speak the language of creative directors and producers. I’m comfortable working within Trello, Slack, and Notion to ensure project transparency and zero-stress delivery.

Robert YarrSwansea University
Working with Matt we had a specific brief to create two bespoke videos with interlinked narratives that were languageless and easy to understand, with consistency in look and feel being crucial. The videos delivered were perfect for our requirements and Matt was accommodating and efficient throughout the process. Highly recommended!
Sam Pajot-PhippsgoConfirm
We approached Matt with a project to distill a complex new app into a simple, easy to follow ‘how to’ video within a tight deadline. Matt approached each step with transparent communication, clarity on his needs or dependencies and was highly receptive to new ideas and iterations during the process – which is critical as an early stage company. Would definitely work with Matt again.
Iori HaugenSwansea Bay University Health Board
Matt approached our project at the NHS with creativity and professionalism from the start. We were incredibly happy with the first draft, and only needed minor changes, which were dealt with promptly and efficiently. Matt was also incredibly patient with our team, and was a joy to work with. Thank you Matt!

Matt’s ability to both ideate and communicate have made for an diverse and frictionless creative relationship. He is the very definition of a safe pair of hands, and I am always looking forward to the next time we are able to work together.
