It's nice to meet you...

Hello and welcome! My name is Samantha Thorley. I’m a freelance illustrator, animator and designer with years of experience in the creative industry.

The nature of the industry I work in and the job opportunities I have been fortunate to secure, has allowed me the privilege to develop and focus my skills in a range of creative fields. I have animated both television and web advertisements for large blue chip companies through to small independent start ups. My illustrated designs have been featured and sold in Joules, Not On The High Street and independent retailers throughout the UK. I thoroughly love the creative work I do and I greatly value any project that has purpose, good cause and heart at its core. (If you’re reading this and your project is for a charity organization; I will always offer a discounted service).

My passion and respect for each project I undertake is not mirrored by the size of the client or the pay cheque. I endeavour to bring to each client the same level of service, passion and expertise as I would expect to receive myself and will always go above and beyond what the project requires because I simply believe that’s how business should be done.

If you’d like to find out more about the services I offer or just grab a cup of tea and chat through your project (without obligation) – don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’d love to hear from you.
