Meet the Team
David Lochhead, Head of Design
After studying Animation in his native Australia, David moved to London to work at Framestore in 2008 where he worked his way up to becoming Head of Design in 2024. In that time, David applied his broad skill set to a host of stunning work for high-profile clients across commercials, film, and immersive entertainment.
His body of work includes the recent sequences for Marvel Studios' "Ms. Marvel", which blend 2D and 3D animation seamlessly to create bespoke, iconic and truly memorable scenes for the Marvel series and received the award for Outstanding Motion Design at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards. David also led the team on an award-winning title sequence for the Ciclope festival; a visually-impressive film that again mixed 2D and 3D elements to craft a striking multimedia, hybrid project.
