TESTIMONIALS

What a joy Selom has been to supervise - hardworking, diligent and hungry to learn! He has excellent time management skills, and can be relied upon to deliver high quality work to a deadline, as well as quickly pivot between tasks if priorities change. Both a pleasure as a designer and as a colleague, he’s an excellent addition to any team.
— Rowan Sefton, Character Design Supervisor at Blink Industries
I can’t recommend Selom highly enough. He is a reliable artist with a humble approach to the work. He not only brings fantastic hard skills but an intelligent and collaborative approach, thanks to his excellent soft skills. The only regret I have is that we didn’t get to work together longer.
— Heath Kenny, COO at Mercury Filmworks
I commissioned Selom to create character explorations for a project I have in development. Selom was great to collaborate with and his designs were both creative and really met the brief.
— Tom Cousins, Series Producer at BBC
Selom was incredible to work with. He’s such a talented artist and was able to capture the characters I was looking for almost instantly. I hope I’m lucky enough to work with him again.
— Jess Hitchman, Digital Consultant, Author, Screenwriter
