George Upson CREATIVE MEDIA Production

Digest and Explore

After graduating from studying media production at Bournemouth University, I embarked on a journey where I could digest what I learned and seize an opportunity to explore the world. I spent the next 12 months travelling to 9 countries and getting involved in as many adventures as possible. Whether it be rock climbing in Thailand, scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef or kayaking in the Grand Canyon, there was no doubt that I was making the most of my year abroad.

As I travelled from one country to another, I was inspired by the various uses of patterns, textures, colours and designs across different cultures. Whether I was watching a carnival, exploring a market or visiting a temple, there was always something new to see.

A Fire to Create

As my travels approached their end, I returned home with a fire in my belly to create. Having graduated with an award-winning final project, I knew where my talents lay, and I was eager to learn more and get my hands dirty.

From there, I worked for several creative media agencies where I further developed my skills which helped pave the way to eventually becoming self-employed.

Now

Since 2020, I have been working as a freelance multi-media creative for B2B and B2C companies, producing an array of engaging media content, including websites, animated logos, motion graphic videos, and more. My work aims to be contemporary and refreshing, innovative and refined, and I stand by constantly learning and improving, striving to produce only my best work.

I maintain that life is about a balance between work and play. When I am not sitting at my desk creating, I like to get out and continue to fulfil my desire to explore by walking, paddle boarding, hiking and climbing.
