Matt Cochrane
I'm Matt Cochrane, an experienced motion director, designer and consultant based in Leeds, UK. I help create strategic, full-service animation and motion design for forward-thinking agencies and brands looking to elevate their marketing.

Whether your team has little experience with motion and animation, or you simply need an extra pair of hands, I work alongside you to bring clarity, direction and confidence to the process. I'm happy to work with my clients on either a day rate, a per-project fee or retainer basis. Alongside hands-on production, I offer creative strategy consulting for in-house teams, and one-to-one coaching for creative freelancers and studio owners working through the parts of running a business that don't come naturally.
