About Norburn Design
At the heart of
everything, we love
telling stories.
25+ years of design, illustration, animation, and media production. All brought together to help brands communicate ideas that stick.
The Journey
It started with the web, which led to sound design and video editing. Retail signage and print & digital campaigns for companies ranging from small independents to multinational blue-chips followed. A side passion for oil painting and illustration proved unexpectedly successful.
The last decade has been dedicated to 2D & 3D animation, 3D modelling, motion capture, and audio production. These skills are now applied within the corporate education sector, resulting in two industry awards and a move into games engines.
Based in the Cotswolds. Working with clients across the UK.
