Rhys
Malcolm,
Art Director & Creative Lead

I am a Senior Art Director and Creative Lead with a background in design, motion and video. I develop ideas, build visual worlds and guide projects from concept to delivery. My work spans campaigns, brand, digital content and motion-led storytelling, supported by experience across emerging tools and AI-assisted workflows.

  • I lead projects from brief to final delivery, grounding work in clear strategy and measurable goals. I create bold, integrated creative platforms adaptable across digital, print, social, and experiential channels, turning complex objectives into actionable visual narratives. I define visual and conceptual approaches that elevate brand mission and ensure consistent, authentic, emotionally resonant messaging—from long-form to short social video. I also structure, design, and present concepts and strategic rationale to win and retain business, while directing and mentoring design and production teams, managing feedback, and maintaining high visual standards and brand alignment.

  • I provide comprehensive design capabilities focused on delivering impactful, polished, and on-brand visual assets. My proficiency spans full brand identity systems, high-quality digital content, trend-driven social creative, print design, Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising, editorial layouts, presentation design, and the development of campaign toolkits for large-scale rollouts. I prioritise craft and consistency, ensuring the brand's visual identity remains strong across all touch points.

  • Motion and video are at the core of my hands-on execution skills. I specialise in motion graphics, complex animation, video editing, and storyboarding for integrated campaigns and social-first content. I oversee the entire motion process, from initial content development and visual scripting through to post-production support, ensuring dynamic, scroll-stopping assets are delivered efficiently and to the highest broadcast and digital standards.

  • I maintain advanced proficiency in the industry's essential creative toolkit: Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, Premiere, and Lightroom. I am also highly skilled in Figma for interface design and prototyping, as well as various Presentation Tools, and have integrated advanced AI Tools, including ComfyUI, to streamline ideation and production workflows.

  • My expertise lies in delivering comprehensive, integrated creative solutions that ensure seamless execution across all platforms. This includes spearheading multi-channel campaigns, developing highly effective social-first creative, executing large-scale brand launches, designing impactful event creative, and leading video-led storytelling initiatives.

  • I possess strong collaborative experience, leading creative teams and working closely with copywriters, strategists, producers, account teams, editors, and developers to ensure alignment, efficiency, and flawless delivery throughout complex project lifecycles. I focus on fostering a dynamic environment where diverse perspectives contribute to a unified, high-quality final product.

  • I have developed strong experience in using AI tools within the creative process, both for my own work and for wider team delivery. This includes building and refining AI-assisted workflows for ideation, concept development, image creation, style exploration and motion-led content. I am comfortable guiding others in how to apply AI within their own processes, improving production speed without compromising creative quality. My approach focuses on using AI as a practical, collaborative tool that supports craft, strengthens storytelling and opens new creative possibilities.
