My name is Chris Holbeche.
I’m a Motion & Graphic Designer currently based in Birmingham. My usual work includes videography, animation and motion graphics, however I also produce social media content alongside static print & digital design. I have worked in design for over 7 years and have a wide range of experience which I have used to provide bespoke and unique solutions to a variety of projects. I still have the drive and desire to continue my development and aspire to hone my craft in design as best I can.
Alongside my work as a graphic designer, I am also a keen tennis player & coach. I provide sessions for players of all ages and abilities and thrive on teaching and developing others. If im not discovering new ways to progress my knowledge of design and film, i’ll often be found at my local club having a hit!
