Phil and Animotion UK are wonderful to work with. Phil has a great sense of design and a wonderfully emotive vision. He puts his heart into his work and it really shows. Phil worked with me on two projects and in both he led with a kind, guiding hand, all the while listening to my vague pronouncements of what he should do. Both projects resulted in excellent product at a fair price and timely delivered. I will continue to work with Animotion on all my projects. Couldn't recommend more highly. More...

DDS Media designed my business logo last year. They took my very vague brief and turned it into exactly what I needed to change my branding to reflect where my business is headed. Would highly recommend Phill for any graphic design work. More...

Phill was great to work with from start to finish. He took time to understand our objectives, our brand as well as our proposition and made great suggestions based on that. Through his expertise he was able to add value throughout and ensured we got what we wanted and needed from the animation. The whole process was very collaborative and we were able to contribute to the creative direction at all times. We are delighted with the result and look forward to working with Phill again in the future. More...

Phil at DDS Media has created a powerful and striking image for my men's roller derby team as part of Southern CoEd Roller Derby, which has helped to promote our brand locally, nationally, and indeed internationally. It is more than I could have hoped, and cannot praise his skill, service and product more highly. More...

Apex Predators Roller Derby
Phil at DDS Media produced our league logo and the men's team logo in August 2015. We were really impressed at his professionalism despite our complicated brief and the amount of reworking he did as required! The finished designs were really well received and were intrinsic in our league rebranding last season. We would definitely recommend his services! More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love my job because it gives me total creative freedom and the opportunity to work with some truly great clients. Coupled with a wide variety and style of project it keeps me interested and challenged as each and every client/project is different.
What inspired you to start your own business?
As a father of three, I want my kids to be proud of me and what I do. Running my own business and letting them actually see what I do achieves this as they take great interest in my work. Hopefully, this will allow me to leave something great behind for one or more of my kids to take over in the future. This is what inspired me.
Why should our clients choose you?
I take great pride in each and every design project and thrive on variety and challenge. I put great thought into each and every piece as I take great pleasure in seeing the end result in situ and working well for my clients.
