About Me.
I'm Matthew T Shaw.
I help studios, agencies and creative teams shape ideas at the point where clarity matters most — early development.
My focus is on character design, worldbuilding and visual direction, supported by story-driven 2D animation. I work with projects that need to define tone, identity and emotional intent before they move into full production.
I’m UK-based and available for freelance and contract work, remote or hybrid.
If you’re working on something that needs a strong narrative or emotional clarity, feel free to get in touch.
What I Do
Narrative Animation
Short, cinematic animation designed to communicate complex or emotional ideas clearly and impactfully.
Concept & Story Development
Shaping ideas into strong, pitch-ready concepts with clear narrative direction.
Storyboarding & Visual Direction
Translating ideas into visual sequences that guide tone, pacing and storytelling.
