Charlie Loughbridge

A motion designer, doodler, and full-time creative thinker.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved scribbling ideas onto paper — whether it was characters, concepts, or just whatever was in my head at the time.

That early passion naturally led me into the creative industry, where I’ve spent over 10 years working across advertising and television, with the privilege of working alongside some incredibly talented people who’ve helped shape the designer I am today.

I’ve been fortunate to work on a wide variety of exciting briefs for well-known brands, using tools like Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D, Premiere Pro, and ZBrush. Since going freelance, I’ve loved collaborating with different post houses and agencies – each bringing new creative energy to the desk;

While I’m predominantly motion graphic, my skills also include:

• Storyboarding & animatics
• Concept art and character design
• 2D design for branding and outdoor campaigns
• 3D sculpting and modelling
• 2D and 3D animation
• Editing for social content and commercials

I love the opportunity to really sink my teeth into a brief — especially when there’s room for creative freedom and exploration. — and if there’s a strong cuppa on the go, even better. I’m a big believer that the best ideas often start with a pencil, a conversation, and a nice cup of tea!
