WHO WE HELP
ENDORSMENTS
Richard Cooke | Series Producer | FULWELL for NETFLIX
(NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES)
I wanted to take a moment to send you a formal (and huge) thank you for all your amazing work on the project. I really couldn’t have done it without you - you are incredibly talented, diligent and unbelievably patient! It was a joy working with you, and despite the challenges, an awful lot of fun. Given the tight schedule, that we delivered everything pretty much on time was testament to your enthusiasm for the series, creativity and resourcefulness. You have a brilliant attention to detail, are super organised and know how to crack the whip (oh yes!). I was very lucky to work with you.
Gemma Humphries | Executive Producer | THE MILL

Thank you so much. Danny & Mark were fantastic, walking in halfway through a job like that must have been a total pain, but they were completely unfazed. the client loved them, and made my job a joy.
Andy Bates | Executive Producer | INDIGO TELEVISION
(NATIONAL TV AWARDS & NATIONAL MOVIE AWARDS)
Roisin’s energy and attention to detail mark her out as one of the most professional graphic directors we have worked with. Her designs are always dynamic and punchy… a pre-requisite for the primetime big event-tv in which Indigo specializes. The demands of a modern awards ceremony, means graphic contribution covers not only the on-air content but also the live stage show element. Roisin has the experience and expertise for both.

(VIRGIN MEDIA SHORTS )
Over the last few years Roisin has done a fantastic job in delivering many versions of idents & promos for Virgin Media Shorts across multiple platforms – online, mobile, TV and cinema, along with designing the video and graphic content for or live event. She’s a superb organizer and we couldn’t have done it without her help, creativity or knowledge.
